| Topic: How can you tell | |

when a fish is hungry? I fed my fish last night a couple of flakes and today when I woke up, and he really chowed down on them, like he was really hungry. I just fed him for few minutes, until he wouldn't eat. But, how do I tell if he's being fed enough, or needs more? As far as I can tell he looks healthy and he is very active. But on average, how much should a Giant Danio eat?

I don't know about that fish in particular, but my father has been an aquarium enthusiast for my whole life, salt water and fresh water both. The general rule is that all fish will eat pretty much until they can't any more, and its very easy to kill a fish from overfeeding. Probably still worth spending a few minutes on google to figure out exactly what your specific fish's eating habits are.

I feed my fish every other day... it's very easy to over feed fish. You can feed them and then come back and feed them again, and they will tear it up like they are starving.
Try not to feed them more than they can comsume in one hour... since over feeding them leads to screwing up your water. |

Yeah, I don't want to over feed him, but I don't want to under feed him either. I've been searching on Google, but can't find what I'm looking for.

If you feed them until they don't eat anymore, you might be over doing it. JMO.

Good to find out, cos overfeeding makes their environment a unhealthy, and lethal place to live, cos of extra poop, and the leftover mess from too many flakes, or shrimp or whatever.

I was wondering if they had any kind of behaviour or anything that would indicate they're hungry or need food.

Do you have an amonia tester? Too much amonia = overfeeding.

Giant danios are omnivorous, so it is the aquarist’s responsibility strike a balance between plant based and meaty foods. In the wild they pick off insects from the water surface, so often won’t really chase after food that has left the surface until everything else is gone. As with all danios, these fish are quite active and have high nutrient requirements, so select a flake food that will provide for their needs. These fish are fairly hardy and will adapt to most aquarium conditions. They will do best in a spacious aquarium of 30 or more gallons, and more importantly in a long aquarium (36+inches) to allow them to swim freely. They need room to swim around and a tight cover to prevent jumps. Use of hardy floating plants to create shadows and a dark substrate will make them even more stunning. I got this from here>> http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/cyprinids/GiantDanio.php |

Well, I've been giving him a small pinch of food once a day. He doesn't seem hungry, he's very active. A few flakes fell on the gravel, but he ate them, so there's no wasted food. He seems to be doing very well.
