Ornamental fish are usually fed with small meals. Feeding frequency should not be too high, otherwise the fish are prone to overnutrition. It can not be fed once too long, which is not conducive to the growth of fish. Zebrafish need more nutrition when they are young. So we have to feed it every day to promote its growth and development. Generally speaking, three times a day is the most appropriate. In the morning, noon and evening, it is fed once, and the amount of each feeding is based on that it can be eaten in 15 seconds. Fish in the adult period, the need for less nutrition, can be appropriate to reduce the number of feeding. Because zebrafish are small, even if they can eat enough every time, they will be hungry the next day. Therefore, it is necessary to feed every day. Usually only one feeding in the morning.
They can also survive for a period of time without food intake. However, fish of different constitutions and ages can persist for different periods of time. When they are young, they grow and develop faster and need a lot of food every day to maintain their growth. Stop feeding at this time, the fish with good physique can only live for 3 to 4 days, while the relatively thin fish may not be able to persist for 2 days.
As an adult fish, it can live for a long time without being fed. If the water quality is good, it can live for a month or even two months without food supply. However, if it is not fed for a long time, especially when it is young, it will damage its health. If conditions permit, it is better to feed on time.
