I would recommend target feeding like stated above, but 3 times a day seems a bit much to me. I think if you gave them one good feeding a day that would be sufficent. that much feeding you may run the risk of your paramters getting nasty. especially in a smaller tank such as your Tracy.
Just thought I would put my 2 cents in. One of the key things to recovery is good water conditions. and I would think that would be compromised with such frequent feedings.
