    Their are some fish species that have issues with having large meals and food rots in their stomach. But it's not an over-eating-instant kill kind of thing.

    Well the goldfish don't have a stomach so I'm not sure if it makes it more or less likely for them.

    I had a box turtle take down 5 feeder fish in an hour. He was hungry.
