Do zebrafish eat prawns in good years? How to feed them properly

Zebrafish eat bumper shrimp, but they are small, so breeders can't feed them some larger bumper shrimp. It's better to feed them some bumper shrimp eggs or freshly molted bumper shrimp. This will prevent the bumper shrimp from scratching their internal organs. Although zebrafish prefer to eat prawns, breeders also need to feed them some other foods to ensure that their nutrition is more balanced.

1. Do zebrafish eat bumper shrimp

Zebrafish eat bumper shrimp. They are omnivorous animals and can eat many kinds of food. Harvest shrimp is also their favorite food, but zebrafish is small in size, so don't feed them some larger harvest shrimp when rearing artificially. In addition, abundant shrimp contains more protein and fat, which can provide more help for their growth and development. Moreover, compared with other live baits, bumper shrimp rarely carries parasites or bacteria, which is very suitable for feeding zebrafish. Although zebrafish prefer bumper shrimp, breeders can't just feed bumper shrimp. Usually, it can be fed with other foods, so as to ensure their balanced nutrition.

1. Feeding amount: Zebrafish is small in size, so it is necessary to pay attention to the feeding amount not too large when rearing artificially. Juvenile zebrafish can be fed in 5 minutes at a time. You can increase the feeding amount in adulthood, and you can eat it within 10 minutes each time.

2. Feeding frequency: Zebrafish can be fed twice a day in their infancy, because they have a high demand for food and nutrition, so the feeding frequency is also higher. They can be fed once a day in adulthood, because they will eat more in adulthood, so the feeding frequency can be reduced.
