2-3 days is fine. Try and base it on how active the fish is, if it's constantly swimming around feed it more often, if it spends most of its time perched or hiding feed it less. Also try and be somewhat consistent, decide on either larger means less often or smaller means more often.

Silver-sides always worked well for me, predator fish like this apparently recognize prey from the eyes so make sure the head is in tack. Then try some whole krill but again make sure the head and eyes are in tack to start. Eventually he'll eat anything. Garlic or other food enticing products have never worked for me but every fish is different.
