π‘ About these calculations: Amounts are estimated from body weight (lengthΒ³ Γ a body-shape factor, roughly 1β3% of body weight fed per day depending on species). Koi and pond fish use a chunky-bodied factor; other species use a lighter factor scaled to their typical build, since a slender tetra or a flat butterflyfish weighs much less than a koi of the same length β this is a reasonable approximation, not lab data, so individual fish will vary. The teaspoon/tablespoon/cup figure is also approximate, since dense sinking pellets can weigh 2-3x as much per teaspoon as light, fluffy flake food. Always observe your fish and adjust accordingly.
