Why is the quality of the fish food so important?
The quality of fish food is extremely important to the fishes wellbeing. A lack of vitamins and minerals will inevitably result in deficiencies such as poor growth, poor fin development and dull colours and could even lead to serious diseases such as sceliosis or emaciation.
Particulary, the fish keeping beginner will soon despair if his fish are in poor condition or keep dying. In the wild, most tropical fishes diet consists of aquatic worms, crustaceans, small fish, green plant matter and insect larvae. In aquariums it is important to feed as natural a diet as possible. It is imperative that the right food is given to each species of fish, a food that provides not only a staple diet but goes that step further than ordinary foods by offering a wide variety of ingredients.
Aqua One recommends feeding a variety of quality fish foods like Tropical Flakes, Spirulina, Colour Flakes and pellet foods like Aqua One Micro Pellets as well as fresh or frozen foods. This will provide fish with a varied diet and keep them interested and healthy. |
