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 |

i feed only once daily in the mornings with alternate switch of pellets and spirulina tablet. Saturdays special treat of fresh semi-cooked prawns.
i have 3 tanks in my bedroom - 4ft tank with 4gf, 2ft with 1gf and large plastic tank with 2angels and group of tetras. i'm starting to change water of 80-90% once fortnightly for the 4ft tank instead of once weekly (only cleaned the sponge filters, hope this experiment is fine with my goldfish). seeing you experts feeding a few times a day makes me think am i feeding too little? |

QUOTE(top_view_ranchu @ Tue, 06 Jun 2006 10:16 am) goldfish kept indoor in a cycled clear water tank got no other source of food. Feeding once a day (small quantity will not be enough and big quantity will foul your water if unconsume). Your goldfish will not thrive and will soon be weaken and prone to all sort of sickness, not to mention growing |
