Overfeeding fish.....

"I have heard that you can kill fish by overfeeding"....no

You kill fish with Phosphate and an overabundance of nutrients in the
water...
Caused from feed them too much. It's like dining in the toilet after a
while.

This is just a general blanket statement and not always the case,
but if you're not sure...Feed them once a day and not too much.
As the tank matures they can munch on the algae, bugs and other crud that
you or I would never eat.

Here is a query - I have heard that you can kill fish by overfeeding. I
never overfeed and my fish (who get fed different things about 3 times a
day) are always hungry when I feed them. Now here is the thing - in the
wild they can eat all day if they like - so why dont all marine fish die
from over eating? Especially the Regal Tangs - they are like vacuums and
eat everything you put in the tank!

Any comments?
