Feeding Frequency of Koi Fish
The number of times to feed koi fish each day is usually 1 to 3 times. The specific number depends on the season and the appetite of the koi fish. Feed them 1 to 2 times a day in spring and autumn, 2 to 3 times a day in summer, and once a day in winter.
Feeding Frequency in Different Seasons
Spring and Autumn: Feed them 1 to 2 times a day to ensure that the koi fish have enough time to digest the food.
Summer: Due to the hot weather, the appetite of the koi fish will increase. You can feed them 2 to 3 times a day, but you should pay attention to controlling the amount of food to avoid overfeeding.
Winter: In cold weather, the metabolic rate of the koi fish will decrease, and it's enough to feed them once a day.
Controlling the Feeding Amount
The amount of each feeding should be determined according to the appetite and digestion speed of the koi fish. Generally speaking, the amount of each feeding should be controlled so that the koi fish can finish eating within 5 to 30 minutes. If the koi fish show signs of looking for food after the first feeding, you can give a second feeding, but be careful not to overfeed.
