Read in some fish food packaging "If more than half the tank of water has been changed,do not feed your fish for 24 hours"
Was wondering if any bros adopt this practise and if so,why?But I do know some lfs owners who keep their fishes in outdoor ponds do not feed after rainfall.
Also,does anyone here starve their fishes for a day per week as recommended by some websites?And what's the reason behind it as well?
I wont advise feeding after huge water change until after 2-3 hours unless u adjust the new water chemistry to be very simliar to yr old water. For me, after a huge water change, my goldfish will remain motionless at the bottom of the tub. I believe its the large KH/PH variation that causes that to happen. Usually the next day, they will become active again and somtimes, "turned" on their sexual mode
. Simply not interested in food except chasing each other around the tub.
If yr goldfish remains active 3 hrs later after a huge water change, i guess theres no harm for u to feed them.
