Feed it the amount of food it eats in five minutes once a day. Remove uneaten food to avoid cloudy water.
Only as much as it can devour within a few minutes and then no more for at least 4 hours

∙ 8y agoIf you do feed live fish goldfish are not the best choice as they are one of the most likely to carry diseases. Livebearers or barbs are better and also more nutritionally suitable.
In my opinion, feeding live fish is unnecessary and perpetuates the mass production of fish that then suffer in pet stores before being fed to a predator. The only time the feeding of live fish is necessary is with newly imported specimens or obligatory piscivores that simply will not accept any other food. Processed foods have been scientifically formulated to provide optimum nutrition and while an occasional treat of live fish is fine, it is much better to use processed food to form the basis of an Oscar's diet.
Instead of live food, feed a quality cichlid pellet or stick, frozen blood worms, veggie disks, small pieces of boiled shrimp and peas. Oscars need a variety of food types. Our Oscar has never had live food and he is healthy, happy and his tank stays much cleaner. His water is crystal clear, and his tank tests all come back perfect. No ammonia, no nitrites, no nitrates, no phosphates. No algae in his tank.

Get a little egg cup and put a pinch in it and that is how much but if you have more than one fish give it one and a half

How often do you feed Goldfish?
you should only feed it once a day unless it gets really huge (like mine did) and if it gets huge you should feed it atleast twice a day Goldfish should not be fed everyday, goldfish do not have stomaches and have a very poor digestive system....when they eat this means the food will just pass straight through and of course will leave its back end into the water. They are basically swiming around in their toilet. They may seem gutsy but they will eat and eat as much as you give them. This will then contaminate the water and may kill your fish. Goldfish can go 2 weeks without feeding.....so feeding them everyday is way to much, especially if the tank is small. Feed them every other day at the most.
