Ornamental fish food – FAQs

 

How often should I feed my aquarium fish?

The feeding frequency depends on the fish species and its needs. We generally recommend that you feed your fish once or twice a day with small portions that are eaten completely within a few minutes. Overfeeding can lead to water pollution and health problems.

Which type of food is suitable for which fish species?

Choosing the right food depends on the nutritional requirements of your fish:

  • Flake food: Suitable for surface feeders.
  • Granules: Ideal for fish that feed in mid-water zones.
  • Pellets and tabs: For bottom-orientated fish and special species.

Make sure that the food corresponds to the natural feeding habits of your fish.

What is the shelf life of fish food?

Dry food such as flakes and pellets can be kept for several months if stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, they should be consumed within 6 months to avoid loss of nutrients. Frozen food should always be stored frozen and thawed before feeding.

Can I combine different types of food?

Yes, combining different types of food can ensure a balanced diet and provide variety. However, make sure to adjust the total amount of food to avoid overfeeding.

How can I tell if I am overfeeding my fish?

Signs of overfeeding are

  • Uneaten food at the bottom of the tank.
  • Cloudy or contaminated water.
  • Increased algae growth.

In such cases, reduce the amount of food and remove leftovers promptly.

Is live food better than dry food?

Live food can be a valuable supplement and encourage natural hunting instincts. However, there is a higher risk of introducing germs. High-quality dry food offers a safe and balanced alternative.

What should I do if my fish don’t eat the food I offer them?

Possible reasons could be stress, illness or unsuitable food. Check the water values, observe the behaviour of the fish and offer a different type of food if necessary.

How does food quality affect the health of my fish?

Some unprocessed foods such as blanched vegetables can be fed occasionally. However, spicy, greasy or highly processed foods are unsuitable and can harm the fish.

Can I give my fish human food?

Einige unverSome unprocessed foods such as blanched vegetables can be fed occasionally. However, spicy, greasy or highly processed foods are unsuitable and can harm the fish.

How does feeding affect water quality?

Excessive feeding leads to food residues that pollute the water and can promote algae growth. Feed moderately and remove leftovers promptly.
