Can a fish eat too much, in the sense that they actually hurt themselves?
This may be a dumb question, but when I tried to search, all I see is responses about feeding too much and elevated nutrients. I don't care about algae, this is my 2nd tank.
I have two new anthias in the tank for 8 days and are extremely skittish. There is also a leopard wrasse that's been in there a few months (but was way smaller than I expected her to be so I'm letting her get bigger before transferring). I finally got one anthias to eat today by sitting in front of the tank like a statue and very slowly feeding live brine over and over. Needless to say the wrasse has gorged herself and stomach looks super full.
I feel like I need to continue to get the other one eating as it's been over a week, but worried to continue feeding. Haven't started Prazi either as I wanted to get them eating.
