Feeding Freshwater Fish

Feeding Freshwater Fish
  • We recommend feeding fish, in an established aquarium, 2-3 times daily. (Except fish that eat live feeder fish.)
  • Feed only what the fish can eat within 1 minute. Feed fish lightly with a newer aquarium until the aquarium has cycled. The major cause of cloudy water is over feeding. Food should not fall to the bottom.
  • Fish should be fed a variety of foods: staple flake food, specialty flake food, frozen brine shrimp, specialty frozen food, live food, freeze dried food.
  • Fish that eat live feeder fish can be fed every other day. The number of live feeder fish needed may vary depending on the fish. A feeder fish diet alone is not sufficient for fish to thrive.
  • Feed a variety of fish foods for healthy fish.
