When it comes to feeding suggestions, it is recommended to stop feeding when the water temperature consistently falls below 40°F. Once the temperature rises above 40°F but remains below 60°F, feeding should be done once daily. If the water temperature is consistently between 60°F and 70°F, feed two times daily during the warmest part of the day. When the temperature exceeds 70°F, feeding should be done two to four times daily, as warmer temperatures increase fish activity and food requirements. It is crucial to avoid over-feeding by removing all remaining food after the feeding period. Monitoring the amount of food your fish eat is especially important during appetite loss, sickness, or medication.
