Koi eat the eyes of goldfish, possibly because the breeder has not fed for a long time, causing the koi to be too hungry. If they are hungry for too long, they will bully goldfish and eat their eyes. If breeders want to avoid this situation, they should feed regularly and quantitatively every day. In addition, Koi fish also eat the eyes of other fish when they fight. Goldfish are small and generally can't beat Koi, so they may be eaten out of their eyes by Koi.

1. Why do koi eat goldfish's eyes

? Koi eat goldfish's eyes may be due to the lack of food in the fish tank for a long time, which leads to too hungry koi. If the koi is hungry for too long, it will attack other fish and eat their eyes. In addition, there are some species of goldfish with bulging eyes, which makes it easier for koi to eat their eyes. If breeders want to avoid koi eating goldfish eyes, it is better to feed them regularly and quantitatively every day, and if conditions permit, they should not mix goldfish with koi.

In addition, the koi will eat the eyes of other fish when fighting, because the size of the koi is larger, the size of the goldfish is smaller, the goldfish can not beat the koi, so it will cause their eyes to be eaten. If breeders want to avoid this situation, they should reduce the density of breeding, ensure adequate food, and avoid fighting between koi and goldfish for food.

2. Can koi be raised

with goldfish? Koi is not recommended to be raised with goldfish. First of all, they are different in size. The size of koi is larger, and the adult body length can reach 100-150 cm. The size of goldfish is smaller, and the adult body length can grow up to 40 cm. If they are mixed together, koi can easily bully goldfish. Secondly, the demand for oxygen in Koi is higher, but the demand for oxygen in goldfish is not high, and their living habits are different. Finally, the appetite of koi is large, and the situation of grabbing food is more serious. If the koi and goldfish are mixed together, the goldfish will probably not be able to grab food.
