How do you figure out a fish's bioload?

[jpappy789]

There is no way to really measure bioload...usually larger fish have larger bioloads and smaller fish have smaller bioloads.

[Squeakfish]

But certain small fish have more of an effect than other small fish. Is it carnivores have more of an effect than herbivores?

[jpappy789]

There is no noticeable difference between most fish. Others are considered more "messy" than others but basically larger fish = more waste = larger bioload

I would think the diet definitely has some factor in it, as well as what you feed.

[jpappy789]

True, as would how often you feed.
