Koi should not be fed once a week. If the feeding interval is too long, it will damage their gastrointestinal system and affect their growth and development. For them, the water temperature of about 25 degrees is more suitable. At this time, the breeder needs to feed them 3-4 times a day. The amount of food each time should not be too large to ensure that they can finish eating within five minutes. The feeding frequency in each season is different, and the feeding frequency in winter is less than that in other seasons.

At this time, food can be fed 3-4 times a day, each time the amount of food should not be too large, to ensure that the fish can eat in about five minutes. If it is in summer or winter, the amount of food feeding should be reduced to 1-2 times a day, and the food can be guaranteed to be eaten in about 10 minutes.
