CATDOLL : CATDOLL: When is the best time to feed tilapia during the day?

1. Feed only 1-2 times a day, and the amount fed each time should be eaten within 1-2 hours. If the weather and water quality are normal, the amount of food fed can be increased appropriately for fish species with strong vitality.

2. Feeding time should be early in spring and summer, usually around 6-7 in the morning, when the sun starts to shine and the fish pond (tank) is warm. In late autumn and winter, feeding time can be a little later, usually around 7-8 o'clock, and even around 10 o'clock in the cold winter season. But avoid feeding a lot in the evening. Even if the fish are obviously looking for food, it is better to feed a small amount around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. After November, the water temperature drops significantly, and the fish's appetite tends to decrease, so it is not suitable to feed in the evening.

3. As the fish grows, the amount of feed should be gradually increased appropriately, but it should not be blindly fed, especially artificial feed, which should be strictly controlled. For family fish farming, the daily amount can be divided into 1-2 times to avoid feeding too much feed at one time, which will accumulate in the pond (tank) and deteriorate the water quality.

Tilapia:

Tilapia, commonly known as: African crucian carp, African crucian carp, Vietnamese fish, South Sea crucian carp, etc. It originally refers to the mouth-brooding African crucian carp species with Mozambique as the model origin: Mozambique mouth-brooding African crucian carp (scientific name: Oreochromis mossambicus), now it is the common name for several species of fish in the genera of African crucian carp and mouth-brooding African crucian carp of the Cichlidae family; it is collectively called Tilapia in English. Now it is a freshwater farmed fish that is the focus of scientific research and cultivation in the world's aquaculture industry, and is hailed as one of the main sources of animal protein in the future. It usually lives in fresh water, can also live in salt water with different salt contents, and can also survive in shallow waters of lakes, rivers, and ponds. It has a strong adaptability, can reproduce in small areas of water, and can even grow in rice fields, and has a strong adaptability to water with less dissolved oxygen. Most tilapia are omnivorous and often eat aquatic plants and debris. I hope you can adopt it, thank you!
