Overfeeding fish is so easy to do. First, we forget how small they are: our appetites are much bigger than their stomachs! Second, feeding is one of the only ways we can interact with the fish, so we tend to do it too often. Third, fish quickly learn that our approach often means food is on the way. They come to the front and top of the tank, appearing eager and hungry. Don't be tempted to think this is an indication that they are famished and need food immediately. Overfeeding is definitely too much of a good thing, and can lead to serious consequences.

Due to waste accumulation, pollution and digestive problems

Explanation:

  • Overfeeding to fish is a common cause of death which occurs in aquarium because due to overfeeding fishes produce more nitrogenous waste and this nitrogenous waste is toxic to fishes and responsible for the killing of fishes.
  • Another problem with overfeeding is that some fish food is not easy to digest so overfeeding can cause constipation/blockage and bloat in them by which fish can dye.
  • The remaining and undigested food pollute the surrounding environment of fishes due to which fish can dye.
