Food Time!

It is time to feed your fish and you want to know, “what is the best food for your fish?” There are tons of fish foods on the market and you will find the one that is more appealing to you. I am just going to look at the basics of what your fish require. For starters, you need to provide your fish with a high protein and vitamins meal. Know what your fish prefer to eat and make sure to feed them the right amount per day.

The best type of food to provide your fish with is natural food, food that they would find in their own environment. I understand that it can become expensive but if you want your fish to live a long and full life than I suggest you spend the extra money. I believe that if you go cheap with the food you can find yourself buying more fish to replace the dead ones and that can get a bit costly in addition to frustrating. Let’s brake down the diet of your common fish. An omnivore prefers to eat both plants and animals so they are going to need a variety. An herbivore prefers to only eat plants. You can start with using seaweed selects for your saltwater fish. They offer a large variety of kinds to choose from. I would go with the basic one, Green Marine Algae. For your freshwater fish you can get Hikari Algae Wafers. They will sink to the bottom of the tank and allow your fish to eat with ease. I prefer to feed my fish frozen vitamin enriched shrimp. You can find this food at any local fish store. Brine shrimp and mysis shrimp are the best and most common to choose from. They provide lots of protein and fat to keep the fish’s immune system strong and metabolism operating at a good pace. The frozen food is for both freshwater and saltwater fish.

I would stay away from any dried food it is artificial most of the time and does not provide enough nutrients or natural behavior for the fish. If you have to buy dried food then the only one I will vouch for is New Life Spectrum Thera+A sinking pellets. This product has all the beneficial nutrients that any type of fish you have can live off of.

Please remember that this is a basic chart of what you need for your most common fish. If you have an exotic fish, one that cost a lot of money, than be sure to do the proper research on that fish so you can provide with the right diet. I can’t emphasize enough on how important it is to feed your fish properly.
