I also heard that they dont eat as much in the winter cuz they internally know when its cold outside even though their tanks arent. Kind of like a hibernation stage.
you are correct. they tend to go off feed for breeding season(the winter months) and go back on fed as it warms up. Some may or may not go off feed.
