2. Feeding frequency: In order to ensure the healthy growth of fish and not accelerate the deterioration of water quality, it is necessary to pay attention to the feeding frequency. It is usually fed two to three times a day, so that the fish can eat in 3-5 minutes each time, so that it will not leave too much residual bait, and it is also convenient to clean up later.
