The native carp (relative of the goldfish) is constantly looking for
food. Most of the time, they only get little bits here and there. So,
it's best to do small amounts a couple times a day. Most people
feed once in the morning and once in the evening. Amounts should
be what they can eat in 2-3 minutes, rather than one big meal once
a day.

With my guys they could probably polish off 2 pounds of pro gold in 2-3 minutes. rofl3.gif

it depends on the climate/temperature of the water. the hotter it is the faster the metabolism, and the colder it is the slower its metabolism

My GF get fed twice a day, once early morn and once at night, the get fed once on saturday. I only feed pellets once a day, and fresh fruits and veggies the other times. The do however get treats, but they have to work for them. and some times ill feed them to stop them spitting water of the floor. There such obnoxious pigs. Always whining and beggin for foood.

Mine get fed once or twice. Sometimes it's just once since I have 8 in a 75 gallon, and my nitrates are constantly high. They'll get ProGold at dinner, and sometimes some lettuce, collard greens or blood worms during the day. They'll be going into the 125 here in a few weeks though, so I'm sure I'll start feeding them normally again. smile.gif

The feeding is all on preference, some yours and some the fishes. Don't want to feed them too much too often ill.gif or too little. To be honest my fish aren't on a regular schedule, some days they eat once, some twice, some more than that. It depends on a lot of things but the more often i feed them in day, the less i give them each time of course.

I need to know how much, like how many Pro-Gold pellets? I have three 2and 1/2 inch long bubble eyes. I usually soak the pellets for a few minutes first, and then if they are to big i split them in half. But how many of these a day should they get? I usually feed when i get home from work in the afternoon, and then again later in the evening. I have been putting in 4 to 5 pellets each feeding. Is that to much or not enough?

Thanks for any help!
