- Choose food based on fish mouth size and diet
- Store food sealed and dry between feedings
- Keep bulk food containers closed to help maintain freshness
Color Feeding Notes
Color-support foods may help support normal fish coloration as part of a balanced diet, but fish color can also depend on genetics, maturity, stress level, water quality, lighting, tankmates, and overall care.
For best results, choose foods based on the species being kept and rotate with other appropriate foods when needed.
