So I've had this goby for around 2 months with 6 other fish in the tank. I feed them twice a day usually morning is pellets and frozen food at night. I do feed them all a decent quantity and most of them will stop eating towards the end but this guy keeps going. Once I turn the wave maker on a couple of minutes later whatever is left over he will usually eat as well. Does this look like a healthy goby or should I cut down on food? What are the consequences of over feeding other than parameter swing? Side note hes super healthy moves around all the time and sifts through the samd redecorating my substrate everyday.
