Daily feeding is essential for a goldfish's health, but their slow metabolism helps them endure short fasts.
Cold water slows metabolism, allowing goldfish to survive longer without food.
Without food, goldfish become lethargic and may nibble on plants or tank debris.
Short fasting is beneficial! It helps prevent digestive issues like constipation and swim bladder problems.
Going on vacation? Use an automatic feeder or ask a friend to feed your fish.
Signs of hunger: Increased activity, nibbling on plants, or begging near the water’s surface.
Overfeeding is harmful! It can cause digestive problems and pollute the water.
Goldfish can go 1-2 days without food, but regular feeding is key for a happy and healthy fish.
Conclusion: While goldfish are resilient, consistent feeding ensures their long-term well-being!
