How often should you feed a goldfish?

Question

I tend to feed mine every other day right now. I know overfeeding can be a problem. How often should you feed your goldfish?

Answer 1

make sure u feed the fishes twice in a day ,feed them in varieties like sometime-pellets,dried blood worms,fresh green peas,etc they have better digestion and have a good growth thier excretion does not cloud the water that much bcz they decompose in the tank as a cycle-gud luck!

Answer 2

Firstly you need to take care not to over feed, essentially a pinch once a day is enough, what is left floating at the end of five minutes is wasted and only pollutes the water. It depends on how many fish you have in the tank watch to see after a pinch of food is it all eaten or wasted, a pinch should be enough for 3-4 fish.

Answer 3

If they are inside...probably 1 light feeding a day...about as much as they can eat in 5 minutes...but watch it---goldfish are notorious overeaters...they will eat anything/everything and forever.

Answer 4

I have 2 medium sized ones and i feed them once a day, I usually give them about 2 table spoons.

Answer 5

i would feed it two times a day

Answer 6

you are underfeeding actually... I feed mine 2x a day, just a little bit each time
