Mary fish is small in size, so it eats very little. Therefore, the frequency and amount of feeding should be strictly controlled. Fish are prone to overeating if they are fed too often. If it is not fed for too long, the fish will be hungry for a long time, which is not conducive to its growth. In order for the fish to develop normally, it is recommended to feed twice a day. The interval between two feeding is about 8 hours, and the amount of each feeding is based on that it can eat in 5 minutes. If it's time to feed, the fish's abdomen is still relatively bulging, which means that it has not digested the food, do not feed it first. If the digestion rate of fish has been very slow, it can be reduced to feeding once a day.
Mary fish is omnivorous fish. When choosing food, we should not only consider the preferences of fish, but also consider the nutritional value of food. It is better to choose nutritious food to feed them. Because Mary fish prefer plant food, they can be fed mainly plant food.
But plants alone cannot provide the full range of nutrients for their growth. Can be properly mix with some animal feed and artificial fee. The protein content in animal feed is higher, and the nutrient composition of artificial feed is more comprehensive. The combination of the two can provide sufficient nutrition for the fish, plus the plant feed it likes. These feed together, is the best choice for feeding Mary fish.
