How to feed a fish in 2020



Often times the first questions aquarists ask, especially those who are new to the hobby, are about feeding. What do I feed my fish, how much should I feed them, and how often? In nature, what fish eat depends on whether they’re herbivores (plant eaters), carnivores (meat eaters) or omnivores (both). How often and how much they eat depends on their dietary preferences, their appetite and availability of food. Here are some tips to help provide the best possible feeding program for your fish:

Herbivorous fish tend to forage throughout the day because it takes a lot more plant material to satisfy their nutritional needs than the amount of meat protein for carnivores.

Omnivorous fish have it best because they have many more options for suitable food items. Predators and specialized feeders eat more when food is abundant, but when it isn’t several days may pass between meals. This could explain why aquarium fish readily accept food anytime it’s offered; they don’t know when their next meal will be!

Carnivorous fish eat less frequently. This is because they are less likely to catch food every day in nature, and their aquarium feeding schedule should match that.
