D. Never during spawning. Want them to eat the eggs. Sometimes c

A- sometimes several times a day.

Every other day, I'd much rather they feed on mosquito larvae.

A, daily, but just once I also don't feed during spawning, as I want them to gorge themselves on eggs.

 

[Skydog]

Well, that clears that up!

 

[bettasngoldfish]

I feed daily sometimes skipping a day here or there (goldfish only, no koi) Of course they don't eat for several months during the cold winter (I stop feeding when temps drop below 50 degrees)

Very little each morning since it boosts their activity. Some days I forget about it. Once my pea plants start producing I'll throw in some peas, too.

 

[ZmanArt007]

Twice a day. I don't feed a lot, I like watching them compete for the food.

One summer mine got nothing, a busy with other issues that took over. They did fine.

 

[max384]

I feed about twice per day.

I like that every time I come out next to the pond, they all crowd to the surface and "beg" for food.

 

[MitchM]

E) never

Two or three times a day. It gives me an excuse to spend 5 minutes with my fish.
