Does feeding fish more make them grow faster?
In the natural world, healthy fish grow faster and larger than unhealthy fish. Your aquarium is no exception. There are a few important things to consider when “growing” your fish, notably the fact that fish (unlike some other animals) don’t get bigger by eating more.
What happens when you feed fish?
Some of the health problems associated with overfeeding include improper digestion, fatty liver and fin rot. Improper digestion leads to a contaminated tank because fish produce more waste than usual. Fatty liver is a hepatitis-like disease that mostly affects cichlids and other fish who are hearty eaters.
Do fish know who feeds them?
Surprisingly, science has found that fish are capable of recognizing their owner’s face, even if the owner is standing by the tank with other people. Fish can develop an association between something they like, being fed, with the person who feeds them.
What are the basic rules for feeding your fish?

Do fishes sleep?
While fish do not sleep in the same way that land mammals sleep, most fish do rest. Research shows that fish may reduce their activity and metabolism while remaining alert to danger. Some fish float in place, some wedge themselves into a secure spot in the mud or coral, and some even locate a suitable nest.
Does fish get thirsty?
As well as getting water through osmosis, saltwater fish need to purposefully drink water in order to get enough into their systems. Where their freshwater counterparts direct all of the water that comes into their mouths out through their gills, saltwater fish direct some into their digestive tract.
Do fishes feel love?
It’s widely debated, but technically, yes. But it depends on how you define “love.” Fish are able to recognize their owners and seek pleasurable experiences. As they remember your face and correlate it with pleasurable experiences like eating or being pet, they may learn to show affection in some ways.
Do fishes cry?

It is often thought that fish may lack the limbic system, but in reality, fishes do have a limbic system, but they lack the biological machinery to produce tears.
How do fish see humans?
Researchers studying archerfish found the fish can tell a familiar human face from dozens of new faces with surprising accuracy. This is a big, big deal. It’s the first time fish have demonstrated this ability. Think about it: All faces have two eyes sitting above a nose and a mouth.
Do fishes pee?
Fish have kidneys which produce urine containing ammonium, phosphorus, urea, and nitrous waste. The expelled urine encourages plant growth on coral reefs; downstream benefits also include increased fertilization of algae and seagrass, which in turn provides food for the fish.
Do fishes fart?
Experts say that the digestive gases of fish are consolidated with their feces and expelled in gelatinous tubes which fish sometimes eat again (eew… I know!). Point being – No farts.
