Ratfish is a common ornamental fish. How to feed them to make them grow better has become a problem that puzzles many breeders. There are two main factors that affect the feeding times, one is the growth state of rats and fish, and the other is the water temperature in the fish tank.

From the growth point of view, rats and fish in their infancy need to feed them more food. When they are young, they are in the period of growth and development. Only by supplementing them with enough nutrition can they grow healthily. Generally, they are fed 3-4 times a day. Mouse fish in adulthood are not required to feed as much food a day, and they are usually fed once a day. If the breeder wants to feed them more, he can feed them twice a day.

From the temperature point of view, when the water temperature is relatively low, they can be fed only once a day or once every 2-3 days.

As mentioned above, how much rats and fish are fed also depends on their growth state and temperature. If they are young rats and fish, they are usually fed food that can be eaten within 5 minutes at a time. If they are adult rats and fish, they are usually fed food that can be eaten within 10 minutes. These are when the temperature is suitable. When the temperature is not suitable, their food intake and eating speed will slow down, and their appetite will drop greatly. At this time, they need to be fed less food.
