Feeding live food make fishes more aggressive?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
thats a good question..wondering the same now.
but i think any animal fed with not their natural food would equal to domesticated pet..most domesticated pets would not survive unless they re-learn they real identity in order to put back to the wild. so would think animal fed with pellets would be less aggressive then.
thats if aggressive is their natural animal being.
 
^ I dunno? Lets take cats as an example... you can feed them cat food all their life, but their primal instincts are still there...

But i also see where the OP is coming from, since if they learn that they need to hunt in order to survive even in a tank, that could potentially make them more aggressive or keep their aggressive edge...
 
i believe it does cause a aggressive behavior cause the fish will realize it need to hunt down its prey to feed, where as pellets just float slowly, where the fish dont need to spent so much energy chasing after it + the chance of the prey slipping so they tend to get aggressive for the kill.
