is it normal for my fish to seem extremely hungry?
I fed my angelfish tonight a good amount of food and yet she is still searching the tank for more food. I dont want to overfeed her but does that mean I should be feeding her more?

Thank you.

Some fish, angelfish included, will constantly seem like they are hungry, no matter how much you feed them. Don't give into them!

Overfeeding fish is worse for them than underfeeding them, and can lead to a shorter life for your fish.

Feed them sparingly, but a good variety of foods, if you can. Treats like frozen bloodworms or brine shrimp will make them happy, live foods are even better, but all in moderation. :)
