can you over feed a shark

[clowntrigger2k]

ok my leopard is doing really good eating like crazy but today i feed him squid and he ate so much he is swimming really slow but seems to be breathing good and he still swims around but very fat and the eel takes a while toeat but i,am wondering if he will still try to eayt the rest of the squid this might be a dumb question but i thought i would ask

Don't know if you can over feed them, but there is no need to give them so much that you think you are over feeding. For instance, I feed my Nurse about 4 large Silversides every other day. He'd eat 24 more, but I dont put them in. Also, putting too much food in your tank will make your Nitrates rise, you dont want that. Atleast you know he's healthy and eating.

well he is doing good he didn,t go after the other food my eel ate it .i guess i,am like a new parent worry about dumb things ,lol .but it is fun when he eats he goes into a feeding frenzy and shakes the food up real good

you dont want to over feed your leopard becuase your nitrates will go through the roof and he will outgrow your tank faster.. do you have a picture of your tank?

Did you recently buy that fish from a LFS??? I heard they were in season, but no shops have them yet....

Saltfisher - Do you have pictures of your tank? How big is the tank that you have your two sharks in? What do you have for lighting on that tank?
clowntrigger2k - Do you have pictures of your tank? How big is it?
splash1914 - I saw the pictures of your tank I was curious to know more details about it. How much LR do you have? Lighting? Filtration?
Send me pictures and anything else to NickSchwarzrock@aol.com
Thanks,
Nick

I just upgraded to my current tank. I have not taken any new pics yet. I have pics of the sharks in the old tank. The tank is a 180 and I have two lights called "Reef Sun". They are not expensive or special. Here are the pics.
