If the fish food is gone, there is no need to feed for a short time. The fish are relatively hunger-resistant, and it is no problem to starve for a day or two. If there is no fish food for a period of time, self-made feed can also be fed to fish, but this should be based on the food habits of fish to choose raw materials. Homemade fish food can be made by mixing corn flour, white flour, shrimp powder, bean flour and calcium powder, rolling them into the size that can be eaten, and then feeding them.
