Food for Aquarium Fish and Invertebrates
A suitable diet plays an essential role in the health, growth, colouration and reproduction of aquarium animals. At NeoTropic, we offer a selection of food for freshwater fish and invertebrates suited to the different species kept in aquariums.
Food for Aquarium Fish
Nutritional requirements vary considerably between species. Some fish are mainly carnivorous, while others are omnivorous or herbivorous. The size and shape of the food should also be suited to the size of the fish's mouth and its natural feeding behaviour.
Pellets, dry foods and different formulations make it possible to provide suitable diets for tropical fish, cichlids and other freshwater fish.
Food for Cichlids
Cichlids have very different dietary requirements depending on their species and origin. The nutritional needs of a Lake Malawi cichlid, for example, may differ considerably from those of an American cichlid or other African species.
It is important to choose food that matches the natural diet of the species and to feed appropriate quantities in order to avoid overfeeding.
Food for Shrimp and Invertebrates
Aquarium shrimp and other invertebrates also require a suitable diet. Depending on the species, their diet may include different plant-based and animal-based food sources.
Suitable supplementary foods can help meet their nutritional requirements while taking into account the natural food sources already available in the aquarium.
How to Choose Food for Aquarium Fish and Invertebrates
When choosing aquarium food, consider the species, its adult size, natural diet and feeding behaviour. The quantity of food provided is also important, as overfeeding can negatively affect water quality.
