Determining How Much to Feed Your Fish

You can end up with a very unhealthy water environment if you are overfeeding your Koi.

This is why it is so important to know the proper amount to give your fish.

The general rule for feeding Koi is to feed them either once or twice a day, with no more food than can be completely eaten in a three to five minute time span. A good place to start is to feed each fish the amount of food which is equal to the size of their eye.

It is actually more dangerous, and more common, to overfeed a fish than to underfeed a fish. The proper amount of food is a vital component of your fish’s overall health, but also the general condition and health of your aquarium. Excess food that is not consumed by your fish can lead to a host of problems including a build up of ammonia and other nitrogen products, harmful bacteria, and fungus.
