I have already talked about selecting great fish and how to
transport them home and settle them in to there new
surroundings. Today I'm going to tell you about the correct way
to feed your aquarium fish because it is one of the most
important factors of keeping tropical fish.
Overfeeding aquarium fish is the most common cause of death in
tropical fish. I know this may be difficult to believe that
something so easy could cause

more problems and deaths of your
aquarium fish than disease but overfeeding causes problems with
water quality which is where problems seem to start. It is often
not seen as important and therefore, notice is not taken.
You need to make sure you don't give your aquarium fish too much
food. Just a sprinkle should do however you do need to make sure
you don't underfeed them and cause stunted growth. Here are a
few tips on how you

should feed your new tropical fish.
1, Try to feed often but sparingly. This will decrease the
uneaten food that will turn into ammonia that could be harmful
to your aquarium and even kill your fish.
2, Observe your fish at feeding times and look out for how much
they can eat within three to five minutes. You should then feed
no more than that. This again will create less waste food.
3, Try feeding other foods

that don't pollute the aquarium water
as much. Only feed meaty foods twice or three times a week as
these tend to create the most ammonia.
4, Look into buying a more powerful filter or even a second
filter. If you overfeed then, the extra waste won't cause a
strain on your existing filter. You could also do more water
changes to keep ammonia levels down.
5, Buy some catfish or pleco's. These bottom feeders eat

the
waste food that is missed by the other fish and will decrease
the end waste. Pleco's also eat algae and keep the tank glass
cleaner.
Please look into using a few of these techniques above to try
and avoid overfeeding and water quality problems caused by food.
If you do use them then I'm sure you will see an improvement in
your results and less fish deaths if you're having problems with
ammonia and nitrate levels in your tank
