? Koi eat small fish, but they don't eat small fish of their own kind. Koi itself is an omnivorous fish, and they can eat a lot of food. Small fish are part of their diet, so koi eat small fish. However, small fish are more expensive, and the cost of feeding on them is higher, so small fish can be used as seasoning when they are raised.
else can Koi feed? Besides small fish, it can feed shrimp, mealworm and other animal feed, lettuce, cabbage and other plant feed, as well as flaky or granular artificial feed. Among them, animal feed is rich in protein and tastes good, which is their favorite food. The animal feed fed to them includes live bait and frozen bait. They need to be sterilized before they are fed live bait, which carries germs and parasites. Live baits are sterilized, on the one hand, to prevent them from polluting water quality, on the other hand, to avoid infecting fish. Thaw them before feeding them frozen bait, otherwise it will lower the water temperature in the tank.
Plant feed is also the food they can eat, but plant feed has fewer nutrients, which is not suitable for them to eat regularly, and can be used as an auxiliary material to feed them. The artificial feed is rich in nutrients and can be stored for a long time. However, the content of additives is high, and it is not suitable for them to eat regularly. In normal feeding, it is best to mix these foods and feed them.
