The feed for goldfish must be nutritious, clean and hygienic, usually slightly smaller in size, so as to help digestion. And can not muddy water or greasy, which will affect the water quality, increase the difficulty of cleaning. In addition, the feed can not expand after water, otherwise it is easy to break the belly of the fish. Live feeds, such as red worms, red worms and water fleas, are generally used, and they do not cause deterioration of the water body. Secondly, you can choose frozen feed, although the nutritional value is low, but it is also very good.
The feeding time for goldfish is mostly related to the season. For example, in spring and summer, they should be fed at 7 A. M. when the sun has risen and the fish are very appetizing. Wait until the autumn and winter, it will be a little later, wait until 8 o'clock to feed, if the temperature continues to drop, you can feed at 9-10 o'clock.
The amount of feed must be well controlled, usually within 1-2 hours after feeding. If they are eaten in less than an hour, the fish will often continue to feed, indicating that the feeding amount is not enough. If you haven't finished eating for three hours, and there is a phenomenon of floating head, it shows that feeding too much, eating too full is not conducive to its activities.
In midsummer and cold winter, goldfish are prone to anorexia because the temperature is too high or too low. In this case, do not feed them according to the conventional feeding amount. Just feed them properly. If it is not in summer and winter, fish anorexia is often due to illness, which requires timely isolation, further observation and treatment.
