Fish Feeding Tips

Fish Feeding Tips

Feeding Rate - Only feed as much food as your fish can consume in 5 minutes.

Food Quality - Higher quality (and most of the time more expensive) foods typically have less filler and higher nutritional values. Less filler means less fish waste and healthier fish.

Seasonal Foods - Fish have different nutritional needs at different times of the year. Buy foods that are specifically produced for feeding at different times of the year.

Winter - Stop feeding when the water temperature drops below 50o F / 10o C.


Importance of Water Temperature and Fish Feeding

  • Feed only as much as fish can consume in 5 minutes.
  • Above 65° - feed color-enhancing and high protein food.
  • 65° and below - feed wheat germ food (spring, fall, and winter).
