How much food do i feed my goldfish, is 3 times too much?

Answer 1

The number of times isn't as important as the total amount. Only give what the fish can eat in 2-3 minutes twice a day. Once you've got a good idea of how much that would be, you can divide that amount into as many feedings as you'd like.

It's a good idea to vary thier diet a little too. There are lots of things you have around the house you can add to their meals - romaine lettuce, spinach, zucchini, cucumbers, oranges, melons, peas, etc. See this link for other foods that are safe to give them: http://thegab.org/Articles/GoldfishNutrition2.html

Answer 2

I was told from a pet shop to look at the fish eye and don't feed him any more than that at a time not even that much Because they have small stomach. They also say that its better to under feed than over feed Best for Fish and for your tank. Good luck

Answer 3

depends on the quantity you gave 'em. goldfish should be able to finish their meal in a few seconds, as soon after that, you should take away the leftovers.
3 times a day with medium amount of food given is enough.

Answer 4

i have goldfish and i feed them as much as they can eat in 2-3 minutes......i try to feed them at the same time everyday....so they'll be waiting and will know when they will get their food............once or twice a week a feed them a little extra befre going to sleep (just a few floating pebble fods, or some flakes)
