You could say that. It all comes down to temps. I dont believe that overfeeding has anything to do with DPS.

Diamonds can handle higher temps of around 35'c if they really have to, but only for short periods. They need to move off to cooler areas that are 25'c and under whenever they choose, and for as long as they please. These cool areas must always be available to them.

I always recommend temps of 27-28'c at the hotspot for diamonds being housed indoors because a diamonds body can function perfectly at these temps. There is no real need to keep them warmer than this.
