How many varieties of food for aquarium inhabitants exist nowadays? Food in the form of chips, various flakes and even sticks of different sizes – aquarium pet’ owners are simply spoilt for choice. Let’s try to understand this abundance.
So, if you have fish spending most of the time somewhere at the bottom of the aquarium, then a solid type of food designed in a tablet-shape will suite them better. This kind of food quickly sinks and will be found at the bottom by these residents of the aquarium.
If your fish prefer to stay most of the time in the middle of their glass home, then it is advisable to use flakes and chips to feed them, since the fish will have time to eat this kind of food when it is gradually sinking to the bottom.
Finely-ground dry food is good for growing fry.
Pellets and various sticks swell up in the water and sink slowly making them a perfect target for large-bodied fish.
Universal feeds suit for nearly all types of aquarium fish. Labels such as Tropical, Benelux and Tetra could be highlighted. They contain all the necessary nutrients, minerals and vitamins that are required for the proper diet of your aquarium friends.
