leopard wrasse is a pig

My buddy bought one, and then desided he did not want to keep it, dont really know why, but who cares free fish!!! yay
Anyways i have read they are hard to keep, he QT'd the fish for a month, and was eating pellets with no problems, and brine shrimp.

So i put him in my tank, everything is cool, he hides for a day, comes out to eat, brine, and small chunks of shrimp that i soak in vitamins, i put some nori for the foxface, and the wrasse looks like he is pregnant, really fat, he finish the nori, had some shrimp. I know its good for him to eat, but damn, this guy is a hog... should i be worried.. Thanks

 

My sixline eats like a pig as well...I don't think there is much to worry about as long as you are not overfeeding the entire tank...

 

I'd be worried if he wasn't eating.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, its just funny to see him with his little mouth just devouring everything in sight.. i will make sure not to overfeed, everything i put in there disapears in a few min, and anything that stays the crabs get it.

If he is still nice and fat once i get home, i will try to get a good pic of him, so you guys can chuckle, he looks more like a pig wrasse instead of a leopard wrasse.. ;D

 

Thats what I was thinking, I have never seen a fish die from eating to much!
