Stop feeding when the water temperature consistently drops below 40°F. Once it rises above 40°F but remains below 60°F, feed once daily. Increase the feeding to two times daily during the warmest part of the day if the temperature ranges from 60°F to 70°F. In temperatures above 70°F, it is recommended to feed two to four times daily to meet the fish's increased activity and food requirements. Carefully monitor the amount of food given, removing any excess after three to five minutes to avoid over-feeding and potential water quality issues.
