Default Can you overfeed fish.

no. it isnt. their mode of eating is grazing on itsy bitsy critters
all the time and they dont eat large amounts, or anything "dry" at
all. dont know about orfes, but neither GF nor koi have a stomach. so
dry food goes into the gut and is not processed as well as soft, wet,
small things. Ingrid

The reason i ask this is that i have twelve 6" golden orfe, if i sit by
the pond and throw food to them, a few pieces at a time, i could go on
forever, and they would keep on feeding, is this good for them.
