The peacock fish does not need to be fed on the first day of its birth, and on the second day it begins to feed the larvae of live harvest shrimp or some cooked egg yolks, feeding a large amount of food in the first four weeks, ensuring that the small fish have enough to eat, and then slowly reducing it. After five months, it can be fed twice every morning and evening. Older ones can be fed with paramecium, harvest shrimp and water earthworms.

Points for attention in feeding peacock fish

1. Staged feeding

Fish fry stage: at this time in the growth and development stage, they need a lot of nutrition to fully develop, often fed within five minutes after a feeding, and may be fed seven or eight times a day.

Adult stage: as the body is fully developed, the purpose of feeding is to keep the adult fish in posture, so you only need to give enough nutrition (not to let the fish lose weight). It is recommended to feed adult fish for more than six months and feed two meals.

two。 Feeding time

If there is no problem, in good condition, it is also best to feed less in the morning, those who cannot finish the bait should be fished out in time, and the eating time of fish should be controlled within five minutes.

3. Bait selection

At present, there are three kinds of thin-slice feed, pellet feed and frozen feed on the market. It is generally recommended that we give priority to live bait, with silk earthworms as the first choice. Because the nutritional value of silk earthworms is very high, and it can survive for a long time, it will promote the peacock not to eat, thus strengthening the growth rate of peacock fish. And silk earthworms can also be used as bait, the medicine will first be fed to silk earthworms into medicine, and then to peacock fish to eat, the effect is quite good. However, be careful to do double disinfection before feeding.

When feeding peacock fish, we should pay attention to balanced nutrition, do not feed the same kind of feed for a long time, so as to avoid affecting its growth rate and appearance.
