I threw in a bunch of feeders as their occassional treat yesterday. I went our for a few hours and I came back to a VERY swollen catfish. I just got back from work, opened the door and the smell of the tank has taken over the room (the same smell that a feeder tank at the pet shop will have). I see the filter practically plugged up by things that used to look like fish and they're also all over the subtrate as well. My cafish is no longer the fat bastard that he was yesterday. It doesn't look like fish crap. So do they? Do fish puke?

yep they sure do

you probably fed too much
 
hell yeah you better do a quick waterchange man or you might lose all your fish ive seen photos on here of a lot of tank deaths due to fish upchucking their food
 
It's funny. I "made friends" with some of the guys at Petco that everytime I ask for 2 or 3 dozen feeders, they just give me 5 net full:ROFL:
 
Yes.

If you feed too much.
