How should I feed my fish?
It is better to feed a few small meals a day rather than one or two larger meals. Koi do not have stomachs so what goes in one end is passing right through the other end. So, they could eat 24/7. The problem is if you over feed you stand a very good chance of polluting the water and that will bring on its own set of problems.
What should I feed my fish?
Any good quality food. Corn *should not be* listed in the first 5 ingredients. Corn is cheap filler, makes the fish fat and is bad in general. The first ingredient should be fish, fish meal or other fish type product. |
