I have found when they are more active they surface more. They burn more oxygen, so they need to take more in.

Agreed. I see that in all my polys. All the active ones surface much more than the loafers.

If you're concerned get a single edge razor blade and cut the pellets in half-Anne

Was just wondering if the whole pellets could contribute? He was surfacing even when he waited to chew up pellets. If smaller/softer bits of food will help, I'll crumble pellets and supplement with tuna out of sushi rolls.
