Reverse!

[d20monsteroscar20]

I have noticed a big change in my main tank. For years I have been feeding my fishes at least twice a day and have noticed that they grew slower than my friends fishes. Well for about 3 months now I have been getting very bussy and I cut the feeding to once daily and the funny thing is that now my fishes are growing very rapdly, and the death rate have lowered.

How high was your death rate? Maybe you were feeding to much at a time. The best way to get fish to grow fast is to feed small portions several times a day.

too much food fouls up the water, causing excessive nitrates, causing diseases, stunted growth, etc.., causing death. may not of been what was happening to you but sounds like it.
