How much food does a goldfish eat?

Answer 1

A goldfish will only eat as much as it needs. It will stop eating when it has had enough. It is impossible to overfeed goldfish. You should give a goldfish small amounts of food for up to 15 minutes. What it does not eat in those 15 minutes must be syphoned out. Food must never be left in the tank because it will poison the water and kill the fish.

Answer 2

It depends on what type of fish your talking about. But I will tell you about the Goldfish and Beta Fish (Fighting Fish) The Goldfish usually eats 1 to 2 times a day. Beta (Fighting Fish) eat once or twice too

Answer 3

It is impossible to acurately work out exactly how much food each fish will eat. The normal way to feed fish is to add small amounts of suitable food to the tank while keeping a watch on the fish and observing them as they eat the food. This adding of food can continue for up to 15 minutes. One must stop adding food as soon as the fish stop eating. It is important to never leave uneaten food in a fish tank. It will eventually rot and poison the water.

Answer 4

Generally no more than twice a day. Depending on the species, some only require once a day. Don't feed more than they can eat in 2 minutes.

Answer 5

Feed them once or twice a day, only as much as they can eat in 2 to 3 minutes.
