? Koi is an omnivorous animal. If you want to grow fast, you should feed more animal food, such as water fleas, tubificidae, shrimp and so on. However, in order to make the color of Koi bright, besides matching the light, background and water quality, it is more important to feed the special artificial feed with high nutrition to enhance the color of Koi. This color-enhancing or color-raising feed is specially made to maintain or increase the color of koi carp, and its main ingredient is the pigment of salmon and trout muscle. After the koi fish takes it, the red part will be significantly enhanced.
Koi is more gluttonous, if you feed too much, it is easy to have problems such as food accumulation or constipation. Therefore, when feeding them, we should pay attention to the number and frequency of feeding, based on the principle of eating less and more meals, no residual bait and bad water. For newly hatched young fish, rotifers, water fleas or egg yolk water can be fed for the first time. When they grow to about 5 centimeters, they can start feeding some small animal or plant baits.
should we pay attention to when feeding Koi? First of all, we should pay attention to feeding clean bait. If you choose artificial feed, you'd better choose high-quality feed from large brands. If live baits are chosen, they should be disinfected before feeding to prevent them from carrying pathogens or parasites to infect fish. In addition, we should also pay attention not to feed too much food, it is best to stop feeding until seven or eight minutes full each time.
