My GSP is...well, he/she must be coming up on 3--3.5 inches, is very plump and healthy looking, and vigorous. My question is this: is my GSP big enough now to be at the 'feed only 3-4 times a week stage' (as I understand is the case for adults), or should I continue to feed everyday (and yes, I've read the 'library' entries, but did not see my question answered)?

I would feed every other day.

The lurker predators such as pignose, Congo, Palembang's can as adults go to less frequent feeding. The more active hunter predators should still be on alternate day feeding for me.

At 6", I went every other to every 3 days, if they were fed well, w/nutricious foods. Generally, if they got something small & easily digestable, such as worms, they would get fed sooner than after a big crunchy meal.
