I can make a reference to dogs even if they are warm-blooded. Dogs that do not work and live pampered, perhaps as only children in the house, are dogs that often make a fuss about food or on the contrary, think only about food. Dogs that work and in which part or all of the food ration is used in training are much healthier, more active and have a better relationship with food.
I remember an old dog of mine who was sick and in his last days, both because of the illness and the medicines, he no longer ate.
I took his ration and used it to do simple exercises and he ate everything. In the bowl or from the hands, no, working, yes
Regarding fish I obviously have no advice to give you but even with horses I have always thought that giving fixed times to an animal that eats all the time was wrong and led to problems including colic etc.
I think that simulating what happens in nature always helps
