Default Tank water cleanliness

actually... overfeeding fish is when so much food is given that it is not digested
before it exits the fish. Fish have short intestines and no stomach. fish get the
same "food value" from tiny amounts of food more often than large amounts of food.
in the wild they nibble tiny amounts all day. Ingrid

Overfeeding is when there is so much food per feeding the fish can't eat it
all and it rots on the bottom.
