Goldfish eat planktonic fleas such as earthworms and water fleas, and also eat small fish and shrimps, as well as some insects. They also eat plant foods, such as aquatic plants, weeds, yellow algae, diatoms, etc., and synthetic feed goldfish will also eat them. If you feed some bread and rice, they will also eat it, but it is best not to feed this kind of food for a long time. Goldfish can be fed twice a day, the first feeding is best at 7-8 o'clock in the morning, and the second feeding is best around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
What do goldfish eat and when are they fed 1. What do goldfish eat

goldfish are omnivorous animals, eating planktonic fleas and insects such as earthworms and fish insects, and also eating algae, such as diatoms, yellow algae, green algae, aquatic plants, duckweed, etc., and also eating small fish and shrimp. They also eat pasta such as bread, steamed bread and bean cake, but because these foods are not only nutritious, but also easily pollute the water quality, so don't feed this kind of food for a long time.

Synthetic feed can also feed goldfish. Among these foods, fish and insects are the best bait, because this kind of fish prefers live food, while fish and insects are fresh and rich in protein, calcium and other nutrients, which is not only beneficial to digestion, but also helpful to the color enhancement of this kind of fish.

2. When is goldfish fed

goldfish fed twice a day. In spring and summer, the feeding time is about six to seven in the morning, and in autumn and winter, it is relatively late, between seven and eight in the morning. If it is cold winter, it can be delayed for one to two hours, around ten o'clock in the morning. Feeding should be done sooner rather than later at night, around 3 pm and before 5 pm. Don't feed too much at night. If the weather is cool and the water temperature is low, you can not feed at night. Each feeding amount should ensure that they can be completely eaten within one to two hours, and there is no foraging action. When the weather is warm and the water temperature is suitable, the amount of food can be appropriately increased. After November, they will become lazy and inactive, so the feeding should be reduced.
