....I've heard (but don't practice) that several smaller meals during the day
is better for the system than one or two big meals....after a large meal,
the creature may become lethargic due to increased digestive activity and
subject to predation itself.....when I used to keep small bass & pickerel in
tanks at home I often observed this behavior.....after eating alot, the fish
would retreat to a seculed spot and remain there sometimes for a day or
two.....so my hypothesis is that larger fish get to be larger fish
because they're not slowed down as the glutonous ones might be.
