Normally I think Blazek is one of the greatest cartoonists around, but this one does nothing for me. Is over-eating supposed to be fatal to fish? My aquarium experience says they just stop eating and the food is left to rot and foul the tank. So that’s funny? Maybe I’m missing something.
AFAIK it has not been established that fish will overeat to the point of death. It might be caused by side-effects of over-feeding. I would take it as an urban myth until substantiated.
