    I think the only thing you need to worry about by over feeding it, is having it grow too large.
    Like this. People in the office were feeding him 10-15 silver sides every couple of days. I think they still are.

    I have to ask...is this the condy? and if so...i would overfeed the heck out of it haha (by now im sure you can tell im very anti condy hahaha)! Im currently feeding my bta about 5 silversides a week (trying to beef him up a little faster haha) and when he was little (about 2 inches across) i would feed him 1 whole cube of formula 1 about 1-2 times a week, so i may go a little overboard on feeding...but i would much rather have them stuffed then starving (FYI my dogs are also very fat ;D)

    I can't speak to your anemone but I know you're hurting my neck.

    every time I see your avatar I have to tilt my head to one side like a dog hearing a high pitched noise!

    I have never target fed my hem but he eats pretty much every day.I feed alot of food to my tank. He's almost guaranteed to catch some if he wants it
