Wheat, corn, cake and so on are its high-quality feed. Tilapia has a wide range of feeding habits, and it can also be fed with various feeds under the condition of artificial feeding.

When feeding tilapia, the protein content in the feed should be 32% ~ 35% at first, and the daily feeding amount should be 3% ~ 5% of the total weight of the fish. When the individual size is about 2 grams, the feeding amount can be adjusted to 2% of the total weight of the fish, and the protein content in the feed is guaranteed to be 27% ~ 29%. When the individual reaches about 3g, the tilapia enters the fastest growing period, the daily feeding amount is kept at 1% ~ 2% of the fish weight, and the protein content in the feed is above 35%.

tilapia should be fed twice a day, and the feeding amount should be 3 minutes.

Tilapia should be fed with proper green feed (red duckweed, ryegrass, etc.) every day, and the green feed should be controlled at about .3 ~ .5% of the body weight of the pond fish. It is best to use granular bait as bait, and the storage time of bait should not exceed 15 days. Every 3 ~ 4 days, the bottom valve of the sewage in the running water pool should be opened for thorough sewage discharge.

Extended information:

Tilapia has a developed stomach, which can secrete gastric acid, and it can digest some algae that other fish can't use. Under the condition of pond culture, most of the contents in the digestive tract are organic debris and other plant feeds, followed by phytoplankton, zooplankton and a small number of benthos, such as water worms and chironomid larvae.

during the growth of tilapia, its feeding habits are constantly changing. The young fish mainly feed on zooplankton, and gradually turn to plant feed as the fish grow up.
