- Crush flakes for smaller fish if needed
- Use sinking foods for bottom feeders that may not reach flakes
- Rotate with other foods based on the species being kept
- Store food sealed in a cool, dry place
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.
