Koi can be fed in mid-March or early April every year, but the amount of feeding does not need to be too much. Because December-February is the coldest season, Koi will hardly move or eat, so these three months generally do not need feeding. From March to April, you don't need to feed too much. In May, you can feed more. From June to July, when the weather is hot, you should feed less.
When does the koi start feeding? What kind of food is better to feed?

1. what month do you start feeding

koi? Koi usually start feeding in March and April, but at the beginning of feeding, the amount of feeding should not be too large. Because they do not eat from December to February of the next year, if they are suddenly fed in large quantities, it is easy to cause indigestion, so it is best to feed only 50% full at the beginning.

In May, the amount of feeding can be increased, because the temperature is suitable at this time, and the koi will gradually recover, and the metabolism will be stronger. In June-July, it is necessary to reduce the amount of feeding, because the temperature is high and excessive feeding is easy to pollute the water quality. The period from August to November is the fastest time for koi to gain weight, so the breeder can feed more and ensure that the food is nutritious.

2. What kind of food is better

for Koi? Koi is an omnivorous animal, so animal feed, plant feed and synthetic feed can be fed. Breeders can use artificial feed as staple food and animal feed and plant feed as supplementary food to ensure the nutritional balance of Koi carp. The animal feeds suitable for koi include water fleas, red worms, tubificidae, small fish, shrimps, mealworms, etc. Plant feeds include corn flour, vegetables, rice, fruits, etc. Synthetic feed can be fed with high-nutrition tablet feed or pellet feed, and it should also be fed with some color-enhancing feed.
