Question
Hi, I'm Deborah and i have a pet beta~
my fish tends to act hungry very often and i don't know if i should feed him or not. In one of the earlier questions, you said to feed it twice a day 3-4 pellets. Is is bad to over feed a little, and will he die if i over feed him? (he's always hungry and the pellets are very small)
please help, thanks

Answer
Hi Deborah,
 It is good if he acts hungry, but do not feed him any more.  A fish should always be a little hungry.  Sadly, yes he could die if you overfeed him.
