Should I switch to every other day?

I just measured my girls today before I put them in their new tank. They both gained 1/4" in two weeks!!! So bubba is now 3" and mikey is 3.5". They haven't been eating as much this week and now they are so big at 7 months I was wondering if it is safe to feed pellets once every other day now?

I switched to veggies daily and pellets every other day at that size. Tobi was still growing fast. Eventually, I ended up with pellets daily, but about 1/3 the size of her head.

I have read that it depends on age and I have read it depends on size. So I was just looking for some experienced answers. So thank you! I'm hoping that it encourages my smaller one to eat. She only eats aggressively if it's live prey lol.

Yes, it's always better to feed a little less pellets/protein when possible.
