Besides fish feed, goldfish can also be fed some natural baits, such as earthworms, water fleas, and bloodworms. These live baits are the best for raising goldfish because they are rich in protein and nutrients. However, for fish - keepers living in the city, it may be difficult to obtain these live baits. At this time, artificial feed can be chosen to raise goldfish.
When feeding artificial feed, the following points should be noted:
1. Baits with high protein content, being fresh and clean are more suitable for goldfish.
2. When feeding, the "Three - Fixed" principle should be followed, namely fixed quality, fixed quantity, and fixed time. Fixed quantity means paying attention to the time it takes for the goldfish in the pool to finish eating each time. Generally, it is appropriate for them to finish eating within 20 - 30 minutes. Fixed time means feeding at an appropriate time, such as around 6 - 7 a.m. in spring and summer, and around noon in autumn and winter.
In addition, goldfish can also eat some cooked spinach, egg yolk water and other foods. For small goldfish, the feeding amount can be appropriately reduced. In winter, the appetite of goldfish may decrease, and at this time, the feeding frequency can be appropriately reduced.
In short, the feeding of goldfish needs to choose appropriate baits according to their habits and needs, and at the same time, pay attention to the feeding methods and frequencies to ensure the healthy growth of goldfish.
