Just wondering if they can over eat and will it kill them? I just fed my guys and now the pig of the 2 has a huge bulge in his stomach. Can they eat so much their stomach will explode or do they know when to stop? Please don't think I'm stupid, I just really wonder.

i wonder the same but i feed my dats once a day so that way i know for such they don't get over fed.
i also look which dat eat more then other, i make sure every dats eat before i stop feeding.

My dats will eventually stop eating and lose intrest in the food once they've had there fill. That may take a while though, as some of my guys eat like pigs. Most of the time I will stop, before they have had there fill. The buldged stomach is no big deal (as long as its only from over eating)
The biggest thing to worry about with over feeding is that the more they eat, the more they crap, and that will effect water quality.

Yes, the bulge was from eating!! He just looked so stuffed, he sat over in the corner looking like " oh my goodness I ate too much ". He looks fine and normal this morning though. How come 1 is like an oscar and gets all excited when I approach the tank and the other seems more shy? The 1 that loves to see me is bigger and eats like a pig the other is smaller and doesn't eat as much.
Yes, they are both IT's. I feed all frozen so I drop little chunks in at a time so I can see what they are eating. The littler one gets food, I make sure of that, but he just doesn't eat the way the other does. Oh, and I call him little but the other one isn't that much bigger.One is maybe 2" and the other 2 1/2" but it is enough you can tell them apart.
