i haven't fed my fish today yet, but then i stuck in some zucchini as a snack. if i leave the entire slice in there for them to munch on can they become over fed?

Second its not as easy to get a lot of food quickly as it is with FD/flake/ or other individual bite sized pieces.

tell that to my pleco, he demolishes the thing in 9 hours, if you can eat your entire body mass in 9 hours, you can't be overfed

Fish are not humans, they don't decide "ok, I'm full now, I think I'll get a cup of coffee to wash that lovely meal down"
