Wet pets make the best Pets
It appears from the emergencies section of common fish treatments that "Metrozol" is a treatment for HITH. Would see if you could find some of this and start treating per directions asap. Its good to catch this before things get out of control.
Also... to your feeding question, when young, I like to feed everyday with a good amount to fill them up. As they grow however, I will slow it down to maybe everyday or sometimes let them go three days without food. As they get older... their growth slows down so their caloric intake needed is less... just like humans... so its better not to feed them everyday when past their juve stage or they can start gaining noticable weight. Not that I have anything against being chubby and jovial (I could afford to lose some weight too) but its def more healthy to keep the fish "well fed" instead of overfed and hence become sluggish.
