This is not a difficult problem, the key problem is that our careful observation, the state of the fish and the desire to eat are very important.
Although goldfish give us the feeling that they are always looking for food and seem to never be full, if we look closely, we will find that they also have anorexia, and the state of being full and not eating is completely different.
First of all, we have to grasp the daily feeding frequency of goldfish, which has a certain relationship with the water temperature and the size of the fish body, generally speaking, juvenile fish can be fed three to five times a day, sub-adult fish are half large, two to three times a day, adult fish can be fed once or twice a day, when the water temperature is lower than ten degrees, higher than thirty degrees We can reduce the amount appropriately.
So how much is appropriate per feeding? This amount should be about the same as the week before we feed the goldfish, because the fish have just arrived home for a few days we can not go to a large number of feeding, only once a day, each time in three minutes to eat can be, but in this case, we can never grasp how much fish they can eat, especially small goldfish, feeding too little will also affect their growth, it is possible to grow old fish.
So after three or five days of continuous feeding of the fish to return to normal, we can do the following test.
For example, the amount of fish food given yesterday can be eaten within three minutes, we will try to feed it according to yesterday's amount, after feeding the food for the first time, we have to observe the reaction of the fish, if the fish are in a hurry to feed, within three minutes have eaten the fish food clean, then we can give half of the feed amount last time, continue to observe, if the fish eat food is still rapid, and eat in three minutes, what to do? We can give half the amount a second time, and then the feeding is over.
After that, it is possible to feed according to two-thirds of the total amount, and then decide the number of feedings per day according to the size of the fish.
If there is a second case, the fish will have a surplus in the first feeding, or within ten minutes to eat all the feed, then the feeding can be over, and the next time you can reduce the amount by one-third to feed.
If the fish finish eating the fish within five minutes, we can still feed the amount again and a half, and then the feeding is over, and then we can feed it according to two-thirds of this amount.
Through such tentative actions, we can gradually grasp the amount of feed for their own goldfish, all books, the amount introduced on the Internet is the recommended amount, due to the limitations of various factors can not be generalized, only their own observation and grasp of their own fish is the most important and most accurate, including the fish breeding density and water quality are related to the amount of feeding.
We can't just take care of the fish are full and not care about the problem of water quality and lack of oxygen, I breed any ornamental fish basically there is no fixed feeding method, but there will be similar to the above tentative actions, after a general understanding of the appetite of the fish, I generally think of feeding a little.
For example, as long as it is home during the day, I will feed in moderation in the morning, noon and evening, eat three or two minutes each time, stop for ten minutes and eight minutes and feed again, and then stop for more than an hour may be fed again, so that each feeding is not much, the method of eating less and eating more meals is also very good, once which time I forget to feed more, after five minutes there is a surplus in the fish tank, I will fish out the remaining fish food, and then appropriately lengthen the next feeding time, so that it can be.
I am a veteran of fish farming, more ornamental fish problems please pay attention, thank you!
