Power feeding

[ceewah]

Is there such thing as Power feeding? Will it really help fishes to grow faster? How often does everyone in here feed their fishes? I feed my fishes twice a day and sometimes three times, and people said Datnoids are slow growers, but my Datnoids looks like they're growing alot faster than I thought they would.

Not so good for color or overall development of fish in the long run, or so I've heard.

Wouldnt it depend on what u fed them??

Im pretty sure a balanced diet wouldnt ever hurt

power feeding is not a good idea in keeping healthy fish.. sort of like an old wives tales.. fish can only use the amount of nutrients their body can handle... everything else is waste... and the tank gets dirty faster.. clean water and lots of room help a fish grow more then food.... these three ingredients in combination is what tips the scales in a above average fish..
