1)a fish's stomach is about as big as it's eyeball(look at the space of the body that holds all the organs not exactly true, always, but a good guidline, for feeding purposes)

Great Advice. I never thought of it like that.

keep your feeding schedule the same, but cut the amounts in half.observe your fish-if they start to get a bit 'skinnier' slowly increase the amount of feedings(not the amounts of food-a fish can only hold so much at one time in it's gut ) if they still look like they aren't getting enough, thenslowly increase the amounts.

I come from a Greek family we think everyone is skinny, overfeeding is natural 8O

also known as 'jewish mother syndrome' :wink:

most people tend to want to overfeed their pets, it's the most common problem i've experienced with tropical fish hobbyists, both fresh and salt water :wink:
