Which Food do Fish eat.
Note: In a new fish tank that has not been fully cycled, feeding should be kept to a minimum. Otherwise, bad ammonia can build up and kill off the fish inside. A tank takes about 6 weeks to fully cycle.
The Fish we have had and what to feed them.
Small Neon tetras, Guppies, Platy Fish, Dwarf Gourami.
These small fish are omnivores. They can eat a variety of fine flake food, small granules, live or frozen brine shrimp or freeze-dried bloodworms.
Small Tropical Fish.
Betta fish
Betta fish prefer small pellet type foods. Also brine shrimp, worms, and mosquito larvae.
Twice a day.
Corydora Catfish and Plecos
These are mainly Algae eaters. Feed them sinking algae wafers or pellets, and the great thing is they will also clean algae in the tank. Many owners like to treat them to a slice of cucumber or zucchini once a week.
Keeping driftwood in the tank is very important.
The next morning I could not believe how this fish cleaned the tank spotless.
Angelfish
Angelfish love cichlid flakes and brine that float of the surface of the water. They will also eat some pellets that fall in their path, and even scavenge for food that falls to the bottom.
Cichlids
These are carnivorous, and require Larger pellets labelled for Chichlid. Although they will eat other fishes food such as algae wafers and even flakes as seen in the video above.
Getting Fish
Luckily there are supplies nearby in most towns and cities. Major Pets Stores are spread around the country.
