will starve to death, but they will not starve to death if they are not fed in the short term, because they can find their own food. If they are raised in the pond, they will eat some algae, moss, microorganisms, etc. Generally, they will not starve to death if they are not fed for 1-2 months. If they are kept in a fish tank, the space is relatively small, they will starve to death, because the microorganisms in the fish tank are limited, if they do not eat for a long time, they will be weak, their resistance will decline, and they will easily be infected with diseases and die.
if they are not fed for a long time. Koi live in different environments and endure hunger for different times. If they are raised in a fish tank, they will die if they are not fed for a month. Because there are fewer microorganisms in the fish tank, if they are not fed for a long time, they will be weak. Koi will die if it is not conditioned in time.
If it is raised in the pond, Koi can insist on not feeding for about 2 months, because there are more microorganisms in the pond, they can find their own food. Although there is food in the pond to fill the stomach, long-term non-feeding of Koi will lead to malnutrition and emaciation. Therefore, if the breeder wants to raise Koi well, it is better to feed the food regularly to ensure the nutrition and balance of the food.
