Koi can starve to death. Although fish have strong hunger tolerance, they will starve to death after a long time. Usually, fish farming should be fed every day, especially young fish, four or five times a day, and adult fish can be fed two or three times. The reason for feeding more times is that the amount of each feeding is relatively small, which can prevent fish from getting sick and help maintain water quality. After each feeding, the fish should be eaten within 3-5 minutes.
