Grass carp is a kind of fish with a relatively large appetite. When the body length of grass carp reaches 5 centimeters or more, grass can be used as the main feed. Grass carp eat a lot of grass every day, between 40% and 60% of their body weight. Therefore, how much feed grass carp eat a day is related to their weight. For example, if the weight of grass carp is half a kilogram, then it can be fed about 100-150 grams of forage every day; If their weight reaches 1 kg, they can eat 200-300 grams of forage every day. However, if grass is not used as the main feed and grass carp are fed artificial feed, they can not be fed so much.
In addition, it should be noted that some factors will affect the appetite of grass carp, and it is also necessary to adjust the feeding amount according to these factors. For example, water temperature is an important factor. In the case of very low water temperature, grass carp appetite will be relatively reduced, at this time try not to feed too much, otherwise the feed will remain in the water, will pollute the water quality. For example, the oxygen content in water is also an important factor, in the case of low air pressure and less oxygen in water, you can also feed less.
When feeding the grass carp, you should also pay attention to adjusting the feeding frequency according to the growth stage of the grass carp. When the grass carp is still relatively young, its growth rate is relatively fast, at this time it is best to feed frequently, 2-3 times a day. After the grass carp grows up or has grown up, it is usually possible to feed them 1-2 times a day, not too frequently. In addition, the frequency of feeding can also be adjusted according to the above factors affecting the appetite of grass carp, such as not feeding too frequently when the water temperature is low.
