Go with your gut feeling, and their reactions, sounds alright to me. They will eat a higher percentage of their body weight when young, this decreases as they grow though.

At that size they could go more. Why not just feed to satiation ?

You know they're maxing out then.

3mm floating as I have about 8kg in the freezer still.

Despite the size of the SPs I never could wean the buggers onto larger pellets - they always left 'em alone. No idea why, but I eventually gave up after 6 months and just went with what kept 'em happy.
