Fish acting like they are starving ..... and actually starving are two very different things. They always ACT like they're starving, the key is not to fall for it.

Considering how much I overfeed, it would be hard for a tank sitter to do worse.
I bet my tank would survive a 2 week vacation without feeding. My pigs have reached the point of actually flipping water out of the tank if I walk by with out giving them a treat. So now I have to clean salt runners from my tanks' sides regularly.

neither of those fish do a good job of packing on fat reserves. my anthias and clownfish, i'd be much less worried about. sometimes i question if you have to feed clownfish at all, or if they're sustained simply from water and the passage of time.

I hear some people have issues with the allotment door sticking, but they say usually tape or something remedies this problem. I've never experienced it myself though. |
