What kind of food does koi like to eat and how much is appropriate to feed at a time?

Koi like to eat live animal bait rich in high protein. In animal feed, they prefer to eat water fleas, red worms, paramecium, turtle worms, tubificidae and so on. In plant feed, they prefer to eat duckweed, aquatic plants and so on. Because Koi is a carnivorous omnivorous animal, it usually needs to feed more live bait to supplement their nutrition. However, we should not only feed animal baits, but also some plant baits to ensure a balanced nutrition.

1. what kind of food

does Koi like to eat? Koi belongs to the omnivorous fish with partial meat, and their food intake is more diverse. Under normal circumstances, breeders can choose some artificial fish feed as their staple food, usually can feed some small fish, shrimp, frozen red worms, tubificidae, paramecium and other live bait to supplement their nutrition, to ensure their normal physical development. Whenever they are fed some live bait, they will show more excitement, which shows that they prefer this kind of food.

Live baits should be soaked in potassium permanganate for 5-10 minutes before feeding, and then cleaned before feeding. This reduces bacteria and parasites. In addition to animal feed, we should also feed some plant feed, such as aquatic plants, duckweed and so on, so that the food will not be too single.

2. how much to feed Koi at a time is more appropriate

. The size of Koi is relatively large, and the demand for food is naturally relatively large. When feeding, the breeder should provide them with enough food. But it should also be noted that the feed can not be fed too much at one time, to ensure that they can eat in five minutes as well. Otherwise, the remaining food will rot and ferment in the water, consume a lot of oxygen in the water, and cause serious water pollution, which is harmful to their growth and development.
