He are some responce i got all over and i'm more mixed up than ever;
-Healthy is a good thing,
helps fight disease and ich
-Well fed fish are happy fish. Keeps them from pecking at any Coral's.
-wow... lol fat fish, they must be really happy!
-Chubby fish - Sexy fish! Healthy is Happy . Keeps them free from disease!
-Would you rather be fat and happy and live a little shorter or be hungry and live longer?
-As long as you can break down all that ammonia keep feeding them
-Look about what healthy ones in the wild look like
-With fresh water fish it's all about portion control. With salt, let them eat eat eat! This is how they look in the wild.
-Nope, they're nice and healthy, good job
-Just means they are happy fish!
-I have an Achilles that is about 4" wide...fat fish=healthy fish
-They are living the good life. We choose to take them and make them pets . Its not there choice so I think ur fish look great! To most of us in this hobby we consider them family and the way I see it ur taking care of them and atleast ur not neglecting them!
-Keep them fish fat!
-There happy your happy, keep it that way
-Sooooo,,,, why can't a fish be obese don't tell me they'll have a heart attack
-obesity happens in fish just like people and even though they may not get a "heart attack" other problems can definitely occur
-I would imagine it can shorten their life Aron, just like it can for humans.
-*******I used to be concerned with my fishes weight and then I went diving in the Bahamas. They were SO fat and happy!
-They look great fat fish equal happy fish
-well, too fat of a fish can lead to liver/kidney failure...and the under side of the belly is NOT how you tell if a fish is healthy..all of a fishes' fat reserves on up on the dorsal part of the fish (above the head). so when I look at fish at a fish store this is what im looking for (along with, does it have a pinched belly, clear eyes, clear fins, does it "recognize" me (esp true if an angelfish).
Maybe just turn the pumps up for a couple hours a day.
