How many times do feed goldfish?

Answer 1

Goldfish in the wild (carp) are opportunistic surface, bottom and midwater feeders. They don't find food on a schedule, so don't stress on a schedule. Your key is watching closely how much food remains drifting on the bottom. Amount is far more critical than either timing or frequency. Small feedings twice a day is fine, but larger feedings every other day is fine, too. Don't skip taking a weekend for yourself just because of the fish. There are also solid blocks for long weekends. A week? ask a neighbour to feed them well, once, during the week.

If you're a 'tester' you can monitor nitrite/nitrate ratio. If you're a frequent bottom air-lift siphon cleaner, smell the filtrate from your bottom suction cleaner for unpleasant funk.

Feed by sprinkling slowly, taking about a minute to distribute it all. If all the food disappears and none hits the bottom, you're underfeeding. If more than half of the food hits the bottom, you're going over.

Answer 2

On average you should feed your goldfish only what they can eat in about 2 to 3 minutes twice per day.

Goldfish are well known to appear hungry all the time, but they are not. The biggest mistake that can be made is overfeeding.

Answer 3

I'd say 1 or 2 times a day. if you overfeed them the water will get dirty, but if you don't feed them enough, they might die.

Answer 4

depends on the size of the fish. I usually feed mine 2 times a day.

Answer 5

2 times a day

Answer 6

a day? if so about twice a day every day
