Tropical fish can live for weeks or even months without being fed. Fish generally have strong hunger tolerance, so they will not starve to death if they are not fed for a period of time, but it should be noted that if they are not fed in time, they will easily become old fish, seriously affecting their ornamental value. In addition, as a poikilothermic animal, fish's appetite is affected by temperature, so they don't eat much at low temperatures.

Feeding frequency: Under normal circumstances, the fish should be fed three times a day, the feeding time should be staggered, and each time should be regular and quantitative, to ensure that the fish eat within 5-10 minutes, so as not to leave residual bait, so as to avoid water pollution and ensure the health of the fish.
