Your fish's stomachs are about the size of one of their eyeballs. Give them as much food as they can eat within 5-6 minutes.
I think one of the frozen shrimp lumps might be too much. Are they eating all of it?
Remember that feeding live blackworms can cause internal parasites.

You should try to feed them 2 cubes every 2 days (1 cube in the morning, one cube at night, skip a day, repeat)... That will allow them to digest the food more easily, as well as preventing over or underfeed. Once your Ctenopomas mature, you can use 2 cubes twice a day (2 cubes in the morning, feed 2 cubes at night, skip a day, repeat) Email me if you have any questions.

Every other day is perfect. Now give them no more than they can completely consume in 10 minutes. You'll just have to figure out how much that is.
Happy fishing!

You dont need much food to feed the fish. Just buy a small can of fish food and that will be good.
