How many times should I feed my fish? Do I need to bring my fish to the veterinarian? – Oshan, Ajman
Small fish require 2-3 meals per day whereas big fish need only one meal per day. If the food administered is in excess, it will cause waste of nutrients, water pollution and reduce oxygenation in the aquarium.
Furthermore, reduced visibility in the water will favor collisions between members of the tank colony, which in turn will deserve an emergency rush to the veterinary clinic to treat wounds and state of shock!
