Feeding your fish is one of the few responsibilities involved in caring for fish, but it is essential that you feed them the correct food. Different types of fish need different types of food, or they can find it difficult to get the nutrients they need to live well.

One of the easiest ways to define the type of food you give your fish is by what species they are. Typically, fish of the same sort of size will be able to eat the same food, so size is a good barometer too, but species is the most important.

Small fish like Neon Tetras will need different food than Goldfish. Clown Fish will need different food than Star Fish. It is essential that when you get fish, you research what food they will need before you assume anything though.
