How much fish food should I add to a 500 gallon pond with a dozen goldfish and 20 frogs?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I have aquatic frogs and I feed them dried worms. I forgot the kind of worms they are – I will google it. These frogs are about 4 inches from head to toe. I put a pinch of the worms in each day or every other day. For the fish, I put a bigger pinch of the goldfish flakes. The frogs eat the flakes, probably and the fish eat the worms, probably. Will google the worms. The Repto-min floating food sticks I have for the turtles. They’re little sticks around ½” long. Those turtles are a bit bigger. When they were smaller, the sticks were smaller.
