I never try to feed a fish the first day I get one. They go from a tank, to a bag, to bouncing around in your car, to your drip/acclimation process, to your tank. Thats a lot of stress in a few hours. If I happen to be feeding my other fish and the new one eats great. Don't over feed forsure in a small tank like that. A few smaller feedings is better than one big feed. Feed as much as they eat before it hits the bottom. Fish that size, a few pellets or shrimp a couple times a day is lots.
