Sounds like too much, but it also depends on how much you give per feeding. If you give them all a few bloodworms in the morning and evening I don't see an issue. If you dump in an entire cube of bloodworms per GSP twice a day
on the other hand.
Hand-feeding or no, I would say is up to you. However I prefer pliers, so that they won't associate my fingers with food
. More so since I love redecorating occasionally.

when feeding them prawns 3 of them will share just under half a prawn.whatevers left over i remove straight away.bloodworm i normally give them just under half a cube to share.they normally have between 5/8 small snails each of an evening.they do stop when they have had enough.
they dont have 2 lots of prawn/bloodworm etc.they will have either just under half a prawn in the morning then snails in the evening.then the next day ill give just under half a cube of bloodworm then a few snails of an evening.
pufferpunk im not sure if i have read your article on gsp???
