Default Recommended diet for a 6.5"?

Let me see...
It has been abt 2 weeks since I brought home my 1st Greenie. He is now veli happy and sometimes swim side by side with Tiger. Good frens already.

Greenie is now abt 6.5" and whacks 1 little froggie in the morning and almost 3 at nite and I think he still wants more. Tiger normally eats one froggie a day. Yesterday I "ta bao ho liao" - little live shrimps and Greenie went on a feeding frenzy, chasing one after another, I thinks he likes those shrimps more than froggies.

Should I let him eat till he cannot eat anymore or control his diet a little? How much to feed him consider not over feeding?

Cheers

Best is to feed MP if your aro like it. my DFI at 5" can eat a 3" MP and 2 small frogs each meal.... I believe the most impt part of aro keeping is when it is a Juv stage
