[QUOTE="Desolas, post: 21489, member: 49"] I'd feed smaller pieces, it can only benefit the animal. Larger chunks can be wasted as they may start to rot before they are fully digested and the animal may expell it before it has fully digested the meal. Cut it down even more and it should be able to take it into it's mouth easier and may not even expell any waste afterwards. On say a 6-8" BTA I cut the fish down into about 5-8mm chunks. My BTA's do what your describing. They will "sock up" when I've overfed them, once they get the meal down they open back up. I'd call it normal. [/QUOTE]
