Mickey fish is a common omnivorous fish. Like most omnivorous fish, they can eat a lot of things. Among them, animal bait is the most commonly eaten, and live bait such as water earthworms, red worms and bumper shrimps can be used to feed them. Live bait contains a lot of protein, which is helpful for the growth and development of juvenile Mickey fish. Live bait will carry germs and parasites. In order to avoid endangering the health of Mickey fish, it is necessary to sterilize the live bait before feeding. Feeding a large amount of frozen bait will reduce the water temperature in the fish tank, resulting in excessive changes in the water temperature in the fish tank, which needs to be thawed in advance before feeding.
Besides, plant feed and artificial fish feed are also common foods for them. Vegetarian diet has few nutrients and is not suitable for long-term consumption. However, fish feed tastes bad, and they may be anorexic after long-term consumption. Therefore, in normal feeding, it is best to mix and match various foods before feeding them.
