If you want to buy an aquarium and have some fish, you should definitely know how to feed them correctly, because improper actions can lead to illness or death of your pets and cause trouble for the whole family.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what types of fish you will buy and ask the store what foods they like to eat. If you have very small fish, then you need to buy food for them that is intended for fry, otherwise they will not be able to eat normal food.
Step 2
Buy the food you want from the pet store.
Step 3
Wash your hands, pat dry with a towel, and open the food bag. If you are using fresh frozen food, defrost it first and do not freeze it again.
Step 4
Raise the aquarium lid (if present).
Step 5
Do not tap hard on the side of the aquarium to induce the sound-to-food instinct in the fish.
Step 6
When the fish realized that you will feed them and swam to the top, take food (one pinch for 6 - 10 fish).
Step 7
Pour the food into the water, or add it to the trough if there is one in the aquarium.
Step 8
You need to feed the fish 1-2 times a day. If fed more often or given a lot of food, they can die.
Step 9
After feeding, be sure to check if the filter and compressor are on. This is necessary to cleanse the water from food debris, and so that the fish can breathe freely.
Step 10
Do not feed your pets before changing the water in the aquarium, it is better to feed them immediately after replacing. This will make it easier for the fish to endure the change in living conditions.
Step 11
Do not feed the fish with bread, biscuits or anything other than special food.
Step 12
Remember to feed them every day.
Step 13
Do not add food in reserve. Fish do not feel full and will eat until they run out of food.
Step 14
Do not use feed beyond the expiration date, especially fresh frozen feed.
Step 15
Do not keep dry food in a humid place. If it gets wet, do not feed it to your pets, but buy another.
By following these simple instructions, you will ensure a good and long life for your aquarium fish, and a great mood for yourself and your family.
