Today’s topic has least to do with the number one best seller by Dan Brown nor the blockbuster movie,the Da vinci code.But both book and movie centred upon one magnificent work of art by a renaissance, maestro Leonardo Da Vinci…..
The Last Supper. With that introduction,I would like to ask forum bros here when do you last feed your goldfish for the day?………ie Their Last Supper for the day. We are brought up here to believe in delivering small amount of food many times over a period of the day.But when do we stop?Bros who utilize green water environment stop feed by early afternoon to give the greens enough time to consume the resultant ammonia generated for the day.Does that mean practitioners of clear water have the advantage to continue feed right up to evening?What about those that feed throughout the night and day.We are not talking about fries here ,mine you.Are there advantages over the number feed in a day or are there unnecessary harm if the digestive system is not given ample time for the fish to take a rest before resuming such glutton exercise.So when should be the Last Supper for our fish. Now this may differ among countries where the diurnal period varies throughout the year. So do we give our last feed a couple of hours before sundown?Is there a recommendation where we can follow which is practiced not only by hobbyists but professional breeders or keepers to maximize growth rate with minimal damage (if any) to our fishes. Perhaps we need the Da Vinci code to unravel this hidden mystery kekekekeke. All lines are opened. Let’s discuss. goldrush |

My case - In green water, last feed not later than 2pm.
In home bio tank - 6 meals a day, spread over 7am to 8pm. |

QUOTE(CP @ Thu, 01 Jun 2006 12:06 am) My case - In green water, last feed not later than 2pm. In home bio tank - 6 meals a day, spread over 7am to 8pm. Good,you are one of those that has double practices.Green and clear.So in your experience,those fishes that are rotated between the two practices....do you recognise any significant growth spurts when kept indoor(6X/day) as compared to green(?/day....which I assume to be lower) Most unfortunately,these fish are not kept under controlled environment (that means similar volume of space,volume of water,number of water change,etc)to attain a more conclusive inference. So are those fishes kept in biotank having 6 meals better off (growth only)than those kept outdoor(?meals)assuming you practice approximately 100l/fish ratio) And do you encounter more digestive ailments in indoor kept fish with more meals they can handle or no significance is noted? Ok let me ask you bluntly,do any of these fish died of intestinal obstruction,bloatedness and related digestive disorders in both practices ? Oui time for your cross-examination......... |

Goldrush,you are beginning to sound more and more like Ranchu8.
Anyway, QUOTE(goldrush @ Thu, 01 Jun 2006 6:50 am) So in your experience,those fishes that are rotated between the two practices....do you recognise any significant growth spurts when kept indoor(6X/day) as compared to green No, in fact growth is much, much slower. QUOTE(goldrush @ Thu, 01 Jun 2006 6:50 am) So are those fishes kept in biotank having 6 meals better off (growth only)than those kept outdoor(?meals)assuming you practice approximately 100l/fish ratio) No,no, growth is slower. QUOTE(goldrush @ Thu, 01 Jun 2006 6:50 am) And do you encounter more digestive ailments in indoor kept fish with more meals they can handle or no significance is noted? No,no,no, ie no significance and never encountered digestive ailments. QUOTE(goldrush @ Thu, 01 Jun 2006 6:50 am) Ok let me ask you bluntly,do any of these fish died of intestinal obstruction,bloatedness and related digestive disorders in both practices ? And I answer you straight to the point. No,no,no,no.Not insofar. QUOTE(goldrush @ Thu, 01 Jun 2006 6:50 am) |
