Ture or false? Fish dont stop eating!

[mukundam123]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to know if there was any truth in what I've heard: "Fish don't know when to stop eating, so they will keep eating so long as you keep giving them food, until the burst!"

Ture or false?

Cheers

false

I don't think any fish would eat enough to "burst" because it would become physically impossible to stuff any more food into their mouth before that happened. I've got some Oscars that I've never seen quit eating though :-O I quit feeding before they quit eating, I don't know how long they'd eat for, I'm scared to find out.

You blew up a fish? lol! I'm sorry, I know the loss of a fish isn't funny....but I guess you proved the point of the thread

Yeah some fish are real pigs, but eventually they will get so fat they will have to spit anything else out.

Never seen anything explode yet..

Probably not the healthiest either

Really? He eat a tankmate or just overfed?
We had a poly that would get so fat he would just lay on the bottom, trying to swim but had trouble.

That happened when I was away and had someone feed my poly. He looked like a sausage waddling around.

i put some crushed up massavoire pellets in my sen grow out tank and one of them went over like a vacuum cleaner and ate like 5 pellets worth,later the pellets must have expanded and i found him dead with his stomach ripped open.
