When you first start to contact a new fish, there may be some big confusion in terms of feeding: how much does the fish eat at a time? How often is this fish fed? Each fish has the habits of each fish, including its own food intake and the number of meals. Leaving aside some of the more special species of fish, such as the fish, the devouring eel is a fish species that can eat food larger than itself at once and do not need to eat for a long time after that. For family-reared fish, let's first talk about the amount of food fed.

In the wild, fish basically feed all day long. Especially swimming fish. Fish swimming in groups will go out in droves to forage, and it is necessary to forage multiple times in order to take care of each member of the group. Generally speaking, the amount of fish eaten is not a very standard amount, and we can only judge according to the actual situation. The growth stages of fish are divided into three stages: fry, sub-adult, adult fish, and three stages. The gap between the amount of fish food in these three stages is relatively large.
Fry: Newly born fry, divided into two types: with yolk and without yolk. Usually the raw fish are born with yolk. And fetal raw fish do not. Fish with yolk do not need to be fed, they can rely on the absorption of yolk to maintain the growth elements needed for a period of time, and the yolk will be slowly absorbed. Open grains cannot be fed until they are fully absorbed. Fetal raw fish can be fed 2-3 hours after birth. Feeding fry must not be careless. After feeding the feed, observe if they have foraging, if so, there is no problem. I'll take a look at it in an hour and a half.
Usually, the belly of a fry that has just broken its shell is transparent, and you can easily see the food inside. As long as the fry belly is round and bulging, and there is still the color of the food in it, then there is no problem, the food is very full, and the eating situation is very impressive.
Sub-adults: Sub-adults are relatively easy to take care of. Sub-adult fish do not need to eat too much, if you eat like a fry with a bulging belly, it is easy to have problems. I usually feed eight full. Feed until the stomach bulges up, but not very drumming. This is easier to digest, and it is not easy to put too much burden on the stomach and intestines, and eating less and eating more meals is the most in line with the law of fish predation in the native situation.
Adult fish: Adult fish are less likely to be fed. The adult fish body has grown well, at this time, in fact, the focus is on color and form, daily feeding is OK, but the amount must not be more, once more will be a problem. My Thunder Dragon used to eat shrimp and bread worms every day, and his figure became fatter and fatter, and then he reduced the frequency of feeding before slowly losing weight. Omnivorous organisms are still OK to feed once a day, and carnivorous organisms are not suitable for daily feeding. To stop eating properly, one or two days a week, it is of great benefit to fish. Of course, each feeding should still be judged according to the stomach, do not feed the taiko drum.

The frequency of feeding of small fry is relatively high. I don't know if you have ever kept a parrot chick, which you have to feed several times a day when you just break the shell. The same goes for fry. I recommend feeding almost four or five times a day, this number of times is relatively safe. Follow the principle of eating small and eating a lot.
Sub-adults are fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, each time feeding.
Adults, if they are omnivorous, are fed once or twice a day. Carnivorous fish I recommend stopping once a week and not feeding.
