Setting up an Aquarium (part 5)

FEEDING THE FISH!!!

Feeding the fish is the most important and pleasurable routine jobs which now connects you to your aquarium.

Under the name Novobel, you will find a staple food made with up of over 50 materials which meets daily moods of your fish.

In addition, there are many special food sorts of the more specialised fish, e'g tablets for ground feeding fish.

Most beginners make the mistake of providing too much food, too often. Bear in mind that the fish in the wild do not always find something to eat and therefore, constantly hunt for food, which can easily tempt novices give too much food.

Since the fish you have purchased are usually young fish which are still growing, you should scatter as much food as is consumed in 2-3 minutes without any leftovers. As leftover food is left to rot and that's not good!!! Anyway, do this three times a day. Later, when the fish are fully grown, 1-2 feeds per day given in the same manner will be sufficient.

Now you can allow the fish to fast for a day occasionally by giving them nothing to eat. Do not use a so-called feeding ring. It concentrates the feed in too small of an area with the result that the smaller and more timid fish will often not get enough food.

Ensure the consistently good quality of the food by storing opened containers of food in a dark, cool and dry place. The vitamins and other essential ingredients of the food have a limited shelf life once the container has been opened.

Ok that's going to be it for this part in the setting up an aquarium series of posts.
