well ken so far your theory is working..i havent done a wc since friday..friday i fed them once saturday no feeding at all due to i wasent home all day and sunday one feeding of food sticks..its been only a few days and i can see a big diffrence in girth..i also noticed they like the sun coming threw the windows as thier light (sunlight not hitting the tank directly) instead of thier fish tank light..they eat more going by sunlight then the aquarium light..with the aquarium light they eat and hide with the light off they are out and about more and eating alot more..
