There are two types of foods for our fish; prepared and live foods.
Prepared foods are widely sold and very convenient. Fish prefer their prepared foods to be dry. Thus sodden particles at the bottom of the aquarium are not favored. Therefore, the golden rule still applies. Fish should not be overfed.
The other type of foods is the live food. The very best food of this type is live insects and worms. Daphnia is the favourite. Red tubifex worms, white enchytrae worms, brine shrimp, bloodworms and earthworms are also beneficial. The trouble with gathering these foods from rivers and other natural sources is the very real danger of introducing water enemies and diseases to our aquarium. The good news is that, this food can also be obtained from the aquarium store.
