They will keep eating....they are pigs.

Make sure you do not over feed too much as they might later regergitate the food and foul up the water.

Constant overfeeding (buldging belly) can lead to swim bladder problems

It can be lethal too.

About 2 weeks ago I dumped about 50 feeders I caught in a lake nearby in one of my breeding pairs tank. I figured I could save some time by just holding them in the tank of the PB that will feed on them. No need to maintain a separate tank for the feeders and no need to catch them every time they are fed. The breeding pair took very little time in eating most of the feeders. Some time later both fish were regurgitating the feeders they ate. They were throwing up the little fishes. I found both of them dead the follwoing morning.

The only stupid question is the one thats not asked.

But yeah they can eat to much, so just watch what you feed and you will be fine.

That's good info to hear. I have had pbass for years, and feed them like crazy, but I have never had any problems. Maybe I am just lucky. Probably isn't a good idea to "over" feed, though.

It isn't really a good idea to over feed any fish.

However sometimes with pbass you just can't tell.
