What should I feed baby carp?

Question

I have got some grass, mirror and common carp from my local fishery about 1 to 2 inches long, what would you reccomend feeding them? they have natural food from the pond but would like to boost the food they have as there isnt much in the pond

Answer 1

This is the best and the cheapest way to feed a lot of fish. believe it or not dried dog food high in protein, vitamins, minerals they love it.especially catfish and carp.they are bottom feeders.soak the food first then broad cast in a area. when they become 5-6 inches just broadcast it they will grow fast and be healthy.

Answer 2

boillies

Answer 3

You can use the same stuff that's good for small goldfish or koi - fish flakes, brine shrimp, freeze-dried or live bloodworms, and finely chopped-up earthworms.

Answer 4

you could probably get away with feeding them goldfish food... goldfish and carp are close realatives.

Answer 5

Normal goldfish food while they are small.But when they get bigger move on to pond pellets.You can buy both from a pet shop or super market.

Answer 6

an arrow

Answer 7

Hi go to your local aquatic shop they all stock food for pond fish.

Answer 8

I'd go with the goldfish food until they get older... then you can start looking around for something more suitable...some of the pet websites should help...some good suggestions here...

It isn't clear here if you have them in the pond or in an aquarium....in the pond I'd be more inclined to go with some sort of commercial fish food - goldfish food isn't feasible...

Worse case scenario - get some dry puppy food and throw it in the pond - it will work...

Answer 9

prep them for fishing!

feed them little bread balls! Then when you fish them they will go right for it!
