I appreciate the insight Ken. I have noticed some days they feed really well, other days not so much. This behavior has perplexed me at times, but I never really thought about reasons.
I don’t try to power feed them. I know they grow slowly, and I don’t want fat looking Gibbs. My feeding schedule revolves around my work schedule. I work weekend nights, so the get fed about 4-5 times per week.
My source water has 5-10ppm nitrate right out of the tap. I haven’t noticed a correlation between feeding activity and nitrate levels but I certainly believe your experience & hypothesis.
