Flakes or Dired Foods
Commercially prepared foods contain the three basic requirements of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. They are also supplemented with vitamins and minerals. These foods come in many varieties depending on the preferred diet, size and feeding behavior of the fish. Flakes, tablets, pellets and crumb forms are available. For example, larger predatory fish should be fed pellets as opposed to flakes because they prefer to consume a large quantity. Fish that feed on the bottom may not venture to the surface for flakes, so they must be fed pellets or tablets that will sink. All of the community fish reviewed in this page will survive on flake foods. However, if you want active, colorful, healthy fish, you should vary their diets. Use flakes as a staple, and make every effort to substitute other foods a couple of times a week. |
