Not gaining much weight?

This may be normal for a young corn, but I've seen references to young corns growing relatively quickly as well so I want to make sure...

I haven't been very good about weighing Phoenix and that's on me, but after three feedings he's only gained .3 grams, which doesn't seem right...he's currently 10.6 g and eating single pinkies every 6 days. (To be fair, I also weighed him last after a shed, so he hadn't eaten for almost two weeks before that; maybe he lost some weight?) Should he be eating more often than that, or is this normal?
 
That's normal at this stage. They don't usually grow but a few grams a month the first few months. With the shed fast they either lose a small bit or don't gain.
 
Okay, good, I was a little worried about it. I'll try to be better about weighing him before every feeding from here on out.
