how do you feed the smelt: cut it up or serve it whole? Would you recommend it for smaller UJs?

I usually feed them whole now. Before in the past, I would cut it up but I personally hate cutting it up because its really messy and smells gross. A lot cleaner to dump the whole smelt in.
You can cut it into pieces like this. I would only recommend feeding in small amounts. It can get pretty oily.

Cut up to bit size if polys small, you can feed whole fish but it makes a mess on the tank. I would recommend it, its a good source.

In my opinion, it's a lot cleaner to feed whole fish since my bichirs can swallow them whole. But it can be messy if your fish isn't big enough for a whole smelt.
