The correct method and time of feeding koi

Koi should not always use one kind of food when feeding, but should be fed with a mixture of plant food and animal food. Koi is essentially omnivorous fish, not picky eaters, or relatively easy to raise. The richer the variety of food they are fed, the better, so that the nutrition will be more comprehensive and more conducive to their growth. Usually, the feeding ratio of plant food and animal food is 6: 4, so that the collocation will be balanced and scientific. It is best to feed at 10 am or 3 pm.

1. The correct way to feed koi fish

Koi fish eats miscellaneous food and basically eats everything, so it is best to feed both animal food and plant food. When koi is just hatching, because it needs more nutrition to maintain metabolism in this period, it is best to feed more animal food, and high protein can well maintain the nutritional needs in this period.

When koi is an adult, the metabolism of koi is slow in this period, so feeding collocation can be biased towards plant food, and more plant food can be fed to maintain daily metabolism. In a word, feeding should not be single, because if koi is fed with one kind of food for a long time, koi is likely not to eat.

2. The correct feeding time of koi fish

The feeding time of koi fish is adjusted according to the water temperature. The suitable water temperature of koi fish is between 22 ℃ and 27 ℃. At this time, it is usually fed twice a day, once at 10 am and once at 3 pm. When the water temperature is lower than 18 ℃, it is usually fed once a day. The metabolism of koi fish in low temperature environment will become much slower, so if it is fed too much, it will cause them to support. When the water temperature is higher than 27 ℃, you can't feed too much. Koi generally eats very little at this time, so you can feed it once every two days.
