how do i check/modify the amount of food needed
hi guys, i have a small problem with one modded animal, it eats so much that even with cheated maxxed out staff they have trouble feeding the other fish in the tank (the big guy eats 350 food parts while 6 of the others eat half that much). i checked in the data but i cannot find anything regarding food amount, so if anyone could tell me how/if i can do it you're welcome

Food is tied to the size of the animal (more if given the Greedy trait).

i suspected that. i heard size is also tied to the scale of the model in game, does it mean i'll mess that up if i try to change it?

Nah, the only reason you should think about size and scale together is that size also determines how much tank capacity the animal takes up. If you make the size small but the model really large, you'll be able to put it/many in a small tank and so it might look a bit weird.

A good tactic is to reduce the size but give it active swimmer. This means the minimum size of the tank is some multiple of the size. It doesn't stop you putting lots of the same large model in a tank, but it does at least stop the problem of a massive animal in a small tank.

PS you can set the multiple with active swimmer like this:
"activeSwimmer": {"multiplier":3},

That 3 can be whatever. IIRC it defaults to 6.
