The feeding time of koi fish should be decided according to different seasons. If the temperature is relatively high in spring, summer and autumn, their metabolism is vigorous, so they can be fed at 9-10 o'clock in the morning and 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon every day, twice a day. By 9-10 in the morning, they are already awake. Feeding them at this time will not scare them. By 3-4 noon, the food they ate in the morning has been digested. Feeding them at this time can provide energy for their rest.

If it is in winter, when the temperature is relatively low, their metabolism is very slow, so they can generally be fed at 2-3 pm, once a day. The feeding amount of koi should be determined according to their growth state. If they are young fish, they should be fed food that can be eaten within 5 minutes at a time. If it is an adult fish, feed them food that can be eaten in 10 minutes at a time.

Live bait is one of the favorite foods of koi, and they can eat live bait in water mainly composed of small fish and shrimp. You can also eat live bait on land, mainly bread worms and earthworms. These live baits are rich in protein and taste good, which is very popular among them. However, if it is live bait in water, it is necessary to remove the sharp parts of them to avoid scratching the intestines and stomach of koi. If it is live bait on land, it is necessary to sterilize them to avoid polluting water quality.
