Shapes and buoyancy: floating pellets to monitor intake; slow-sinking/sinking ideal for fancy varieties (veiltail, oranda) prone to bladder issues; flakes for small fish.
Size and nutrients: choose the pellet diameter based on the mouth size (fry/juvenile/adult). In warm seasons, use higher protein formulations; in mid-seasons, prefer balanced mixtures; in cold weather, use highly digestible feeds.
Feeding frequency based on temperature (indicative):
• > 18 °C → small portions, even 1–2 times a day;
• 12–18 °C → reduce to 1 time/day or 3–4 times/week;
• 8–12 °C → little;
• < 8–10 °C → suspend feeding until the temperature rises.
Colors and vitality: natural pigments (astaxanthin, beta-carotene) and algae (spirulina) enhance coloration; added vitamins and probiotics promote recovery and appetite.
Tip: for fancy varieties, prefer small-diameter sinking pellets to reduce air ingestion; in ponds, distribute food in multiple locations to avoid competition and waste.
