The golden mouse in its infancy can eat algae, dry fish or live bait such as brine shrimp, tubificidae, and red worms. They can eat more things, so they are easier to raise. But when they grow up, they basically do not eat algae, mainly eating dried fish food or other live bait. If they are not fed enough food, they may also rob other fish of their food.
The golden mouse does not eat fish feces. Because fish feces are their metabolic products, which contain not much nutrition, can be absorbed and utilized even less. Although golden mosses are omnivorous fish, they do not like to eat this kind of almost no nutrition. If fish feces are to be removed, it is recommended that a filtration system be installed in the tank and manually removed when the water is changed.
When raising the golden moss rat, you can feed it once a day. If there are other fish in the tank, you can feed them with other fish. They can eat sunken fish food residues, and sometimes compete with other fish for food, so they will not starve to death. If there are no other fish in the tank, you can feed fish food that can sink to the bottom once a day. They are more able to fight hunger, generally three or five days without feeding will not be a big problem. But in order to make them grow better, it is better to feed them every day.
