Guys, i have a rainbow thats gotten huge, i got him roughly 4 months ago was maybe 6" across. hes gotten bigger over the last few months, but i switched to Radion G5s a few weeks ago and since then hes gotten massive, Im not really interested in taking a 10 blade and carving him up or force splitting. My question is if i feed it more intensity will it shrink? as a predominately sps tank, i cant have him getting any bigger, it already has 1/4 of the 115gal tank. any ideas?

Feeding would only likely make it bigger IME. They split when stressed, but I've not known them to shrink while staying healthy.
 
LOL I know it's a pain when you don't want them to grow. It's kinda like being a victim of your own success.
