esshup,
All I can tell you is that my heart in the right place. While its true I don't have all the evidence I am not without it and I am doing the very best I can with what evidence you provided. The picture, the statements about starting lengths and equal amounts of food are all evidence that one can review in order to judge the reasonableness of an experimental outcome. Reviews are done by people who did not perform the experiment every day. In fact, that's the only way it is. Its not complicated. Were it reasonable, I would not say anything. I don't think the treatments consumed equal amounts of food because the growth recorded is very inconsistent with that. Just why the treatments didn't consume equal amounts of food is something that you could better explain. Indeed, I offered possible reasons so you could affirm or provide a better explanation. Anyways, you seem to be agreeing with the idea that they didn't eat equal amounts of food. So at least we can agree that the photo isn't a guage of relative performance and it isn't something people can expect to occur in their ponds when they feed their fish whatever they happen to be feeding.
