a mermaid is not picky about food. However, in order for them to develop better, it is better to provide nutritious food. They eat a lot of food, but it is best to feed mainly animal feed. You can't feed it animal feed for a few days after it hatches. The intestines and stomach of small fish are relatively fragile, so they can only be fed with egg yolk grey water. When it can eat normally, it can be fed with food such as shrimp eggs, red worms, water fleas, tubificidae and so on. In addition, it can also be fed some dry feed or thin feed. If you want them to grow better, you can feed special feed for lantern fish.
a mermaid's appetite is not large, and it will be hungry soon after each meal. Fish are not conducive to growth and development when they are hungry. Therefore, when raising them, we need to follow the principle of feeding less and more meals. When the small fish just hatched, they did not need to be fed. After about 3 to 4 days, they can be fed. Generally speaking, it can be fed twice a day. The amount of each feeding should also be controlled, neither too much nor too little. The amount they can eat in five minutes is the most appropriate. If there is extra food left in the water, it should be fished out in time to avoid polluting the water quality.
