1. How much feed

do goldfish eat a day? Generally, goldfish can eat 5-10 pieces of feed a day, but breeders had better not feed them in a specific amount, because goldfish will change their appetite according to the change of water temperature and quality. It is best to decide according to the temperature and the amount of food the goldfish eats. Generally in spring and summer, the activity and metabolism of goldfish are relatively high, which can be fed 2-3 times a day, and the amount of each feeding can be finished within 10 minutes. If you can't finish it, you need to fish it out as soon as possible to avoid polluting the water quality, and the next feeding can be reduced as appropriate. If you need to reduce the amount of feeding slightly in late autumn and winter, you can feed only once a day, and the amount of feeding can be finished within 30 minutes. Because goldfish generally do not like activities in winter, their appetite will be reduced.

The food that can't be eaten will decompose into microorganisms in the water and consume oxygen in the water. Secondly, goldfish eat too much will not be easy to digest, because the feed will expand in water, if goldfish eat too much, and then expand in water, it will produce discomfort or cause enteritis.
