The round-tailed fighting fish is an omnivorous ornamental fish and is not very picky about food. Generally, when domesticated, it can be directly fed with the special feed for Chinese fighting fish. In addition to artificial fish food, it can also eat insects or shrimp food, such as shrimp, red worms, nematodes and so on. You can regularly feed some clean live bait to supplement their nutrients. However, if you want to feed live bait, you should disinfect it in advance to prevent parasites or pathogens in the bait and make the fish sick.
When you breed the round-tailed fighting fish, you can generally feed it once a day. They are not afraid of starvation, and for adult fish, a few days without food will not be too much of a problem. However, in order to make them grow better, it is better to feed them every day. For young fish, they can be fed twice a day. Increasing the number of feedings can make them grow faster. It is better to fix the feeding time every day, so that we can develop a good habit of eating at the right time.
Every time they are fed, they should not be allowed to eat too much, otherwise they will grow poorly and even suffer from enteritis. The amount of each feeding should be controlled so that they can eat about 7-8% full. That is to say, they eat all the feed in about 8-10 minutes after feeding.
