Introduction
Different type of fishes have different nutrient needs and amount of food given to the fishes also varies from baby fries stage to adult stage.
How often should you feed ?
- One or two feeds per will be sufficient for adult fish.
- Three to four feeds for young fish.
An automatic feeder may also be used by the aquarist.
How much to feed?
A good rule will be to feed as much as the fish can consume within 2-3 minutes. Thats what usually i do. Un eaten food should be remove so the water does not become foul.
What to feed ?
In most aquarium shops, all kind of fish food are made available. From flakes to live food, hobbyists have a wide variety to choose from. I prefer to feed my fishes with granules which does not cloud the water. Frozen bloodworms/brine shrimps on alternate days. Live food for example, tubifex worms, once a week.
