So my pig acans may have finally gotten their fill. After getting on the feeding bandwagon things really picked up their pace. Lots of growth and improved colors. As time has gone on, their feeding has become a little more picky, and less aggressive.

Do you think this is from prolonged overfeeding?

Not worried, just curious! I'm relatively new to Acans.

Any water parameter changes?
Over feeding can shut them down for a while.

None. It seems to be half of them, the other ones are completely normal pigs still. But half of them seem less responsive to foods.
 
I noticed this trend time to time with acans, blastomussa and even our large trachy. After a few weeks of not spot feeding they would show a feeding response regularly.

How often do you typically feed? I've been feeding every other day for the most part and had changed it up to smaller nightly feedings haha!
