How many pellets should I feed my 2 small gold fish? 5 each?

Question

Some websites say feed once a day. They are very small gold fish- do they need that much food - as much as they can within 2 minutes?

Answer 1

You should feed all your fish 2-3 times a day as long as the food are being eaten within 5-7 minutes it is fine.

Try feeding the goldfish with small amount of food each time and feed them often as the intestine of the goldfish are slower in digestion as compare to other fish.

If the fish is omnivorous like goldfish you can feed it with "MIX" diet such as

1.small live frozen food

2.red worm

3.bloodworm

4.small aquatic invertebrates

5.food flake

6.green foods like pea

Once in a while you can feed it with some vitamins supplement to enhance its colour and growth.

Hope my answer do help you on your fish diet.

Good luck and have fun with your GOLDFISH :P

Answer 2

You only feed them what they can eat in a five minute time period. Pellets are good but will dirty the tank up quicker. You still need to feed them a good quality fish flake food also.

Answer 3

as much as they can consume in 2 minutes twice a day
