When determining how much to feed your fish, start with a small amount and
observe their behavior. If they consume their food quickly, you can increase the amount slightly, but make sure not to overfeed them. If you notice leftover food in the tank after 5 minutes, you may have fed them too much and need to scoop out the remaining food. Adjust the amount of food based on the behavior and appetite of your fish.
Here are some tips for feeding your fish:
Size of food — Your fish food should be adapted to the size and mouth of your fish, smaller fish need smaller food, and bigger fish will eat bigger fish food.
How often to feed your fish – Feed your fish up to two or three times a day.
Do not overfeed — Ensure that the fish are not overfed by feeding them only what they can consume for five minutes, after the five minutes is up remove excess food, as it will affect the water quality.
How much do fish eat — Fish usually eat 1-2% of their body weight per day. Regularly check the quality of the water.
Watch fish — Observe your fish behavior while feeding to see if there are changes in the fish behavior, do not feed if they are stressed or sick.
Plan nutrients — Keep in mind the fish to plant ratio to ensure your plants receive the right amount of nutrients.
