    depends on degree of overfeeding.
    Generally uneaten food deteriorate the quality of the water.
    Sensitive shrimps will be easily affected and if the conditions are bad enough they might die

    Never heard that before. I heard from a CRS breeder says that in-order for shrimps to breed in mass, must feed more.

    more does not mean overfeed . It can be more times a day with adequate amount that they can finish.
    anyway to me overfeeding means feeding in excess till there is left over uneaten.
