Expert Answer

Crucian carp are omnivorous fish. When keeping them, you can feed live foods such as small fish, shrimp, earthworms, and insects, or chop other fish and shrimp into small pieces before feeding. For home-raised crucian carp, you can also offer corn kernels, rice bran, wheat, cooked rice, and bean flour in moderation, or feed some fresh aquatic plants, which also provide good nutrition.

Crucian carp are quite adaptable fish. They not only get sick less easily but also grow quickly. If you are raising them at any scale, it is recommended to feed dedicated fish feed directly, as it is convenient to feed and nutritionally complete, which better supports the rapid growth of the crucian carp.
