1. Live bait: When breeding traffic light fish, you can feed them fresh live bait, such as small water fleas, red worms, etc. Live bait has a high nutritional value, which can provide a lot of nutrition for fish and help them grow better. Feeding live bait is also closer to their feeding patterns in nature. If the fish are young, it is more recommended to feed live bait. However, live bait is not easy to preserve, and may contain bacteria, so care should be taken when feeding.
2. Dry fish food: It is also possible to feed the traffic light fish with dry fish food. Dry fish food is rich in fat, vitamins, protein and other nutrients, and can also provide nutrition for the growth of fish. Dried fish food also has the advantage of being easy to buy and store. However, the nutritional value of dried fish food is not as good as that of live bait, and regular feeding of dried fish food may have an impact on water quality. You also need to pay attention when feeding.
When breeding the traffic light fish, it is OK to feed them 1-2 times a day. They have a certain tolerance to hunger and can survive even if they are not fed for 3-4 days. But if you want them to grow better, it is best to feed them 1-2 times a day to provide nutrients for their growth. Each feeding time, should control the amount of feeding, can not feed too much, lest they eat too much. Let them eat until they are 7-8% full at a time.
