If you are planning to buy food for your fishes, you may have to study a little to find the right type for your pet fishes. There are several different types of fish food made in spectacular range and they can be categorized into three types namely dry, frozen, and freeze dried.
(A) Dry Foods
Dry food can be purchased in different mix and ingredients and is available in various forms such as flake, pellets & sticks and wafers. Flake foods are produced by rolling the ingredient mixture into a thin sheet and drying it to form a thin sheet. It is subsequently broken into little bits or flakes which can be fed to fish. These flakes are made from ingredients such as eggs, brine shrimp or earthworms and are fortified with vitamins and minerals. Flakes are created to float, sink slowly and gradually, and quickly and hence provide the fishes to have the same opportunity to get their meal. Flake foods are very popular with aquarists and are appropriate for small fishes that are as small as 4 inches (10 cm) so that it is able to preserve properly and deliver a good vitamin rich food for them. Fish food can also be made into pallets and sticks. Pallets are available in a range of sizes from tiny bits to hearty lumps. Tiny bits are tiny adequate for the freshly hatched fry and the hearty lumps are fantastic treats for the biggest specimens. Wafers are manufactured from ingredients that are carved into disks which will submerge to the bottom when dropped into the tank. They are best the food for herbivorous catfish, which feed primarily on the bottom.
(B) Frozen Foods
These are generally food organisms frozen to preserve the nutrients and are a good replacement for live foods. Some examples of frozen food are frozen brine shrimp, water fleas and bloodworms. There are many assortments of frozen foods available in the market today which include combining the food organisms and different blends of all sorts of fish foods. They are well accepted by aquarium fishes and are nutritious treats for your pets.
(C) Freeze Dried Foods They are light, dry and crumply food organisms that are manufactured using low pressure and low temperature and preserving the original nutrition and palatability. Since the flavour and odour is preserved, this type of food is very captivating to the fishes and the feeding response for these foods is very encouraging.
(D)Others
There are other choices of fish food such as "homemade" and live foods. Homemade are made by putting assorted ingredients in a blender with a binding agent like gelatine and freezing the resultant paste or gelled food. Live foods such as white worms, baby brine shrimp, daphnia and microworms may be obtained from a few specialized aquarium stores and they have massive overall appeal to most fishes but they are in general not commercially available in the market today. - 24553
