Do they ever get full?

Do fish ever get full?!? I swear, if I put a whole stick of cyclopeeze in my tank, my fish would try to eat the whole thing! Once, just to experiment, I wanted to see how much they'd eat before they'd get full... so I kept putting food in as long as they kept eating it. They never stopped! I had to stop when their bellies got so big I thought they'd explode!

lol

Most animals will do this, including people. In the wild you might not eat for days, so when food is available you don't ask questions. It is a survival instinct.

You posted a fish question in the Reef Aquariums Forum. You'd probably get more attention posting fish questions in the other Forum.

However, the matter of fish that eat a lot was covered in this thread:
Does Your Fish Eat Like a Pig? - Not so Good?

Hope the above helps.
