Daily Feeding Schedule for Aquarium Fish
(Indian Winter Edition – Powered by Life AAYU Fish Food)
Feeding fish isn’t about how much you love them, it’s about how little food their bodies can safely process.
Indian winters slow digestion, even in heated tanks. Overfeeding leads to bloating, ammonia spikes, cloudy water, and sudden fish deaths. This guide gives you a clear, temperature-based daily feeding schedule, designed around Life AAYU’s feeding philosophy: clean water, active fish, zero waste.
Core Rules
The 2-Minute Rule
If food is still floating after 2 minutes → you overfed.
Cold Water = Slow Digestion
Lower temperature = less food, fewer feedings.
Judge Health Correctly
Clear water + active fish > fat fish + dirty tank.

(Where overfeeding kills slowly)
Product: Life AAYU Goldfish
Goldfish are waste factories. Winter feeding mistakes don’t show immediately — they show weeks later as swim bladder issues, bloating, or sudden death.
Temperature-Based Feeding Schedule
| Water Temperature | Feeding Frequency |
|---|---|
| Below 15°C | 1–3× per week, tiny portions |
| 15–20°C | Once daily, strict 2-minute rule |
| 20–24°C | Once or twice daily (activity-based) |
| 24–27°C | Twice daily, still controlled |

Cichlid, Parrot & Oscar Tanks
Product: Life AAYU Parrot / Cichlid
Predatory fish digest slowly even more so in cold water.
Feeding Schedule
| Time | Warmer (24–28°C) | Cooler (20–24°C) |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | Normal portion | Smaller portion |
| Evening | Second feeding if the water is clean | Skip or very light feeding |
Rule to Remember:
Predators + cold = digestion risk.
Slight underfeeding > bloated fish.

FAQs
1. Should I feed fish less during the Indian winter?
Yes. Lower temperatures slow digestion, so reduce quantity and frequency.
2. What if my fish looks hungry?
Activity matters more than begging. Overfeeding causes long-term damage.
3. Can I mix Life AAYU Neutral and Nutro Fit Plus?
Yes. Neutral daily, Nutro Fit Plus 2–3× weekly for immunity.
4. Is daily feeding safe for goldfish in winter?
Only above 15–18°C and in very controlled portions.
5. Why skip feeding below 20°C sometimes?
Fish metabolism slows sharply, increasing bloating and waste risks.
6. Are color foods safe in winter?
Yes, but only 3–4× weekly and in very small amounts.
