First of all, let me assure u guys that I do listen to Xander. Just that I wish to find out more about the rationale behind it.
Well that would be Sol and I that did this experimentation and developed it.. Not so much Xander but he is correct in what he says about it. We have outlined this in quite a few posts. We have found that slowed or punctuated growth works better in the long run than "Powerfeeding" for immediate growth. I have No idea why the shorter lifespan thing was added here as that has nothing to do with our work and there is ZERO evidence for it really...It can cause some issues but not all fatal.
That leads me to the 2nd question on how much is enough and how much is overfeeding.
That is tough to determine... I do not own your fish you do.. And it is not really possible for one to tell you this. You need to determine this.
With the condition that my gators are in a pond and not in the tank, and so they are considered to be able to be more active compared to tank condition.
I'm at a loss what your asking here..There is little difference between a fish in a tank or a fish in a pond.
3rdly, I tried to feed the gators less but the problem arise when I want to feed the rtcs and before the food reach the bottom, the gators will zoom in to grab the food.
Gator gars and Tankmates?....... Yeah not going there again as it seems few get the point of NONE being the best coarse....
