Can you overfeed larvae?

[siona]

I'm waiting for my little guys to hatch And just so I'm prepared and don't mess anything up - how do I know how much to feed them? I've got 20 eggs so a lot of mouths to feed... do they stop eating when they're full?

Larvae will tend to eat until they are full. I think it is darn near impossible to over feed them. After all, they are constantly growing. The biggest issue I have seen with feeding them tons of food is the effect the leftover food has on your water quality.

Ok thanks - I'll be sure to check the water quality frequently, and I've got 2 BBS hatcheries on the go so they shouldn't go hungry!
