1. What does

Koi eat? Koi is an omnivorous fish, and they can eat a lot of food. They can eat animal feed based on small fish and shrimps, plant feed based on algae and spinach, and artificial feed. Animal feed is rich in protein, which is their favorite food. There are two main forms of animal feed fed to them at ordinary times, one is live bait, the other is frozen bait. Live baits need to be sterilized before feeding and thawed before feeding frozen baits.

Plant feed is rich in cellulose and trace elements, which is helpful for digestion. However, there are fewer nutrients in plant feed, which will affect the growth and development of Koi carp if eaten for a long time. The artificial feed is specially used to feed the food prepared by them, and has the advantages of long storage time and convenient feeding. Perfect for people who don't have time to feed their fish. However, artificial feed contains preservatives, which can affect their health. These three kinds of food can be combined to feed koi, so that the nutrition is more comprehensive, so that they can grow better.

If the koi are young, they need to be fed more food. Young koi need a lot of energy for growth and development. But during this period, their physical development is not perfect, if they are fed too much at one time, it is easy for them to suffer from enteritis. So you can feed them 3-4 times a day, and feed them food that they can eat within 5 minutes at a time.

If you are an adult koi, you don't have to pay so much attention. At this time, they are fully developed. At this time, you can feed them 1-2 times a day, and you can feed them food that can be eaten within 10 minutes each time.
