In summer, it is suitable to feed at 7 am, 12 noon and 6 pm. In winter, it is suitable to feed at 9 am, 2 pm and 8 pm. You can feed once appropriately according to the feeding situation of the fish. It is best to feed the fish to 80% full each time.

1. How much should koi be fed per day?

Generally, you can feed 3-4 times a day. Each feeding should follow the principle of multiple feedings and small amounts. Feed in the morning, noon and evening. In summer, it is suitable to feed once at around 7 am, around 12 pm and around 6 pm. After that, you can feed once appropriately according to the feeding situation of the fish. In winter, it is appropriate to feed 3 times a day, around 9 am, around 2 pm and around 8 pm. When the ambient water temperature is below 5°C, stop feeding.

2. How to feed koi properly

1. Bait

(1) Koi is an omnivorous fish that can be fed with vegetable leaves, fruits and other plant feeds, as well as earthworms, bloodworms and other animal feeds. Artificial bait is made from fish meal, which is mixed with flour, soybean meal, vitamins and a small amount of minerals, and is made into various types and specifications according to the body shape of the fish.

(2) It is appropriate to mix multiple feeds when feeding to ensure comprehensive nutrition, and plant feed should account for the majority of the feeding ratio.

(3) Control the amount and type of feed according to the size of the fish, growth conditions, water temperature, etc. For example, it is appropriate to feed plant-based and easily digestible feed in winter.

2. Feeding method

When feeding, it is important to ensure timing, positioning, quality and quantity of feeding. For example, feeding should be done at regular intervals every day so that the fish can form a habit and come out to look for food as soon as they hear footsteps.

3. Feeding amount

(1) Feed until the fish are 80% full. Large fish should finish eating in half an hour, and small fish should finish eating in 5 minutes. The amount of food and the frequency of feeding should be controlled according to the size of the fish, the number of fish, and the water temperature.

(2) If the weather is bad and the water temperature is low, the fish's appetite will decrease, so the amount of food you feed needs to be reduced. In hot weather, their appetite increases, so the amount of food you feed can be increased appropriately. When the water temperature is below 5°C, you need to stop feeding.

2. How many grains should I feed Koi at a time? How should I feed Koi?

Koi can be fed 3 to 4 grains per time. The specific situation depends on the size of the fish. Generally, it takes about 5 minutes to finish each feeding. The daily feed accounts for about 5% to 6% of the Koi's body weight. Artificially raised Koi are generally fed "compound feed", usually twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Don't feed too much each time. Feeding too much fish food will cause diseases due to indigestion.

1. How many pellets should be fed to Koi at one time? Koi should be fed 3 to 4 pellets at a time, and they will usually finish eating in about 5 minutes. The daily feeding amount is closely related to the weight of Koi. The main purpose of raising fish at home is to appreciate it. It is advisable that there is no feed residue in the fish tank for normal feeding. The best choice of food is artificially synthesized pellets, plant fragments, bloodworms, earthworms, etc. Generally, plant feed accounts for 60%, and animal bait accounts for 40%, which is the most reasonable.

2. How to feed Koi Koi is a symbol of good luck and is known as "good fortune". Koi is highly ornamental and is known as "living gems in the water" and "swimming works of art". However, to raise Koi well, you really need to work hard in the following aspects:

1. Fish tank: Koi are active and consume a lot of oxygen. The aquarium should not be too small, and the capacity should not be less than 60 kg. If you prefer to raise large Koi, the aquarium should be appropriately enlarged, with a capacity of not less than 200 kg. The aquarium should be equipped with a water filter and an oxygen pump to ensure sufficient oxygen in the water and clean water quality.

2. Water quality: When you first start raising koi, the water will become turbid easily. It is best to change the water every day, and control the amount of water changed to one-half and two-thirds. If the fish container is too large and it is inconvenient to change the water, you can choose a suitable container to feed the fish temporarily, and then put it into the fixed-raising container when the fish condition improves. At this time, the water temperature of the two containers should be balanced, and there should not be a large temperate difference.

3. Koi breeding method and how much to feed every day

1. Koi fish should be fed regularly, generally 3 to 4 times a day.

2. Koi breeding methods:

1. Koi are omnivorous aquatic animals. They are not picky about food and can be kept in a warm place as long as the breeder feeds them on time every day.

2. In life, koi fish can eat cooked and chopped pork, beef, mutton, chicken and duck meat, bran, bran, fish feed made from a mixture of cooked grains, etc.

3. The most suitable living temperature for koi fish is 20-27 degrees Celsius. Breeders can feed them 3-4 times a day, but make sure the fish finish eating within 5 minutes each time.

4. In hot summer or cold winter, breeders should pay attention to feeding. Try to feed about 1-2 times a day, and the amount of food should not be too much. Make sure that the Santaxian Koi can finish eating within 10 minutes, and there should be no feed residue in the fish tank.

5. Generally speaking, in the hot summer, breeders can feed once every morning at 6-7 o'clock and once every afternoon at around 15-16 o'clock; in spring and autumn, breeders can feed once every morning at 7-8 o'clock and once every afternoon at 14-15 o'clock; in the cold winter, breeders can feed once every afternoon at 13-14 o'clock.

6. When feeding, be sure to feed the appropriate amount, ensuring that the koi fish is 80% full each time and there is no remaining feed in the fish tank.

If you feed too much, there will be a lot of fish feces, and the filter will not be able to handle the fish feces. If the water is too rich and the water quality is not good, it is easy to grow moss and algae. In fact, moss and algae can also absorb toxins in the water. If you don't want the water to turn green, you can only feed less.

4. What are the methods for raising koi fish?

When raising koi, it is important to emphasize that koi consume a lot of oxygen. If you use an aquarium or other small container to raise them, the stocking density is high, and an aerator is a must. Koi excrete a lot, so they should be raised in a bare tank, and a water filter is also necessary. Koi swim fast and like to jump. Decorations that may cause harm to koi and the fish tank should not be placed in the fish tank, and the container should be covered. The minimum requirement for choosing a fish tank is 80 cm long (this tank can only hold 2 to 4 20-25 cm koi). It would be best if you can use a larger container, because you have to consider the issue of whether the koi should stay after they grow up. But if you don’t even have an 80 cm tank now, it doesn’t matter. First, successfully raise the fish, and then make plans.

To raise Koi well, the key is to choose the fish. Buying small fish of 10-20 cm will have the highest success rate. When choosing fish, you should see if the feeding water is too muddy and if there are a few rotten fish in the fish school. If this is the case, you don't need to look at the fish in the Chai Pai Xiang Pond. If you pass this test, you can quietly watch the fish you want. Do not buy fish with short and big heads, flat and blunt mouths, skinny or bloated bodies. Choose fish with a symmetrical body, active swimming posture and bright eyes. Cheap fish generally don't have good colors, as the saying goes; you get what you pay for, but their physical condition is still good. After choosing the fish, remember to ask the store to add oxygen to your fish. After bringing the fish home, don't rush to open the bag. Put the whole bag of fish on the surface of the feeding water for 45 minutes to 1 hour to let the fish slowly adapt to the feeding water temperature, then open the bag and let the feeding water gradually mix with the water in the bag before releasing the fish.

In the next few days, the water is most likely to become turbid. It is best to change 1/2-2/3 of the water every day. If your fish tank is too large and it is difficult to change such a large amount of water, you can use a suitable small container to temporarily keep the fish for two weeks. When you see that the fish's condition begins to improve, then scoop the fish into the permanent container. Remember to balance the water temperature of the two containers before scooping the fish. Whether it is temporary or permanent, it is best to put enough activated carbon in the water filter to minimize the amount of harmful substances. After the fish are stable, if you use a small container such as an aquarium to keep koi, depending on the water quality, it is best to change 1/8-1/3 of the water every 4 or 5 days. This is very beneficial to the healthy growth of koi and keeping the water clean.

In the whole process of raising koi, it is generally not necessary to add preventive drugs. Blindly applying drugs will only kill the fish. When individual sick fish are found, they should be isolated in time, observed for a few days, and then given the right medicine. When giving medicine, the activated carbon should be taken out. The medicine should be light rather than strong. Pay attention to observation. Once the fish have any discomfort, change the water in time. Commonly used drugs include: Royal Fish Treasure Universal Medicine (the main ingredient is methyl blue), yellow powder, potassium permanganate (adjust the bath water to pink).

Koi should be fed two to three times a day, and the amount of food should be such that they can finish the food within ten minutes each time. It is recommended that you buy bulk spices (a mixed granular feed, brown with a fishy smell).

1. Selection and configuration of aquarium

You should choose aquariums of different sizes according to your family conditions. However, since koi and goldfish have different living habits, the aquarium should not be too small. Generally, the water capacity should not be less than 60 kg. For larger koi, the aquarium should be larger and the water capacity should not be less than 200 kg. Since koi are active and consume a lot of oxygen, the aquarium should be equipped with a water filter and an oxygen pump to ensure that there is sufficient oxygen in the water and the water is clean.

2. Bait and feeding method

Koi is an omnivorous fish. Both animal and plant baits can be used as koi bait, such as water fleas, water worms, rice and pasta. However, it is better to choose synthetic baits for ornamental fish. When feeding in an aquarium, special attention should be paid to the feeding amount. It should not be too large. It is enough to feed only 70% to 80% full according to the daily viewing situation. Otherwise, it will cause adverse consequences. At the least, it will cause indigestion of the fish, and at the worst, the leftover food will damage the water quality. It is best not to feed at night.

3. Water quality and temperature

The breeding conditions of koi are different from those of goldfish. They need higher water quality conditions, and the pH should be neutral (PH7-7.4). The dirty and whitish water in the aquarium is most likely to cause fish death. In this case, measures should be taken in time or all the water should be replaced. The water temperature is generally kept between 15-25℃.

4. Mixed breeding is not recommended

Koi is a large omnivorous ornamental fish. The living habits of various ornamental fish are different, so it is best not to raise them together with other ornamental fish.

When raising koi, everyone has different hobbies and different breeding conditions, so the choice of koi should be based on personal hobbies, breeding level and family conditions. When choosing, you should pay attention to the following points:

(1) Choose koi with a regular body shape. Because koi, like other fish, may have some abnormalities in their genes, and some young fish have congenital deformities, such as crooked heads and bent bodies. Such fish have no ornamental value and should be eliminated first.

(2) Pay attention to whether the fish has obvious external injuries, bleeding or other symptoms. Some fish may not have obvious external injuries or diseases, but they swim slowly and have a poor appetite. They often float on the water surface or stay in the corner of the aquarium. This indicates that the fish's internal organs are suffering from other diseases and they should not be selected.

(3) Select fish with obvious species characteristics, that is, select individuals with pure color and fish body spots that can form a certain artistic pattern.

(4) Pay attention to the embellishment in color and variety.

Put tap water into the new tank, open it and filter it, then replace all the water with new water after 3 days.

Then continue to filter, and after a week, buy some small fish lights to test the water.

You don't need a lot, about 20 is enough.

If you can find one that is alive and eating, you can buy a dragon.

If you are concerned, you can buy some more lights to see if the mortality rate decreases.

It is normal to have deaths. Traffic lights need to be water-passed. It is quite troublesome for novices. Anyway, it is not about maintaining lights. I will not teach you. Haha

I recommend that beginners start with the Silver Dragon Star Point.

The best fish to buy are those around 20cm. Starfish around 20cm are more expensive and less in quantity, so I suggest you start with silver dragonfish.

The current market price of a 20cm silver dragon should not exceed 100 yuan per piece.

You must buy healthy fish. It is best to buy fish that have been fed at the fishmongers. At the fishmongers, most of them are so hungry that they will eat like crazy...

Just choose the one that is fatter and has a more attractive appearance that suits your taste.

Don't buy the ones that sink to the bottom... Dragonfish are top layer fish... not diving fish... Also don't buy deformed ones for the sake of novelty... There are many deformed dragonfish now.

(Don't mention the lucky dragon series among Asian dragons.. I am just teaching newbies)

Dragons are relatively sensitive creatures, and generally they will have a long period of adaptation to not eating after returning home.

All you have to do is turn on the light, filter and keep the temperature right.

The dragon is not seven colors, so there is no need for such a high temperature.

When I was young, the temperature was higher. I personally think 26-28 is definitely fine...

When it is above 30CM, just maintain it to 23-26.

Of course, water temperatures below 25 degrees are prone to white spots in spring and autumn.. But I rarely see dragon white spots.. And they will die... Unless it is contagious...

Generally speaking, it will take more than 3 days for it to eat, but it is not certain. If your water is good and you mix other fish with it, it will stimulate its appetite. But if you have a new tank and new water, it should not...

I suggest you put a few small fish in your dragon tank three days after it is in place. See if it eats. If it doesn't actively try to catch them, don't feed them. (Also check if the red and green lights used to test the water are gone.)

If you don’t eat for three days, you will wait for a week. If you don’t eat for a week, you will wait for 10 days. If you don’t eat for 10 days, you will wait for half a month. One of my crossbacks once went without food for a month.

Don't rush it to eat.

Koi are easy to raise, and it is best to raise them in a pond. Koi are best viewed from a bird's-eye view, because they look best from this angle.

I saw at the fish market that koi are not expensive, a small one is about 30 or 40 yuan, a better one is about 100 yuan.

You can just feed it with feed at ordinary times. Don't feed it too much every day, otherwise it will grow too fast. It is not good. Just feed it once or twice a day.

As for the design of the pond, I suggest you build it shorter, surround it with glass to prevent it from jumping out, and arrange some rockery, streams, (use the bottom filtration method to filter water) and other scenery in the pond. I think it's enough. There's no need to design it complicated. The main thing is to look at the fish, not the pond~~

The question is too simple. Fish pond? Fish tank? Density? What is used for filtration?

If you haven't decided yet! Then it's easy, feed the koi
