Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Feeding frequency depends on the specific type of fish that you have, because every species is different from each other. Usually majority of fish require feeding at least once per day, and most of the hobbyists feed their fish once in the morning and once in the evening.

You don’t want to feed your fish more than it can eat, so sprinkle some food into the water and then let the fish eat for about five minutes. The quantity eaten in this time will be the appropriate amount of food to feed your fish.

Yes. Fish will eat even when they’re not hungry, so it’s up to you to make sure they’re not overfed. Overfeeding the fish can cause more problems than underfeeding. They become dull and lethargic and cause permanent body deformities.

Most fish feed in the early morning and at dusk. Exceptions are herbivores and omnivores that graze all day as well as nocturnal species. However, aquarium fish can be fed at any time of day, morning and evening feedings are best. They can be trained for "feeding time" and eagerly swim back and forth at the surface or emerge from hiding places in anticipation of their next meal.

If you have a tank or aquarium, you should plan on doing tank water maintenance at least once per week, although you probably won’t be changing all of the water every time. Commonly, a water change will be about 10% to 20% of the water in the tank, and monitor the balance of nitrate, nitrite and ammonia levels

Replication of natural day and night-time cycle works well. Turn on the light when you get up in the morning and turn off the light in the late evening. Most species of fish will need the light on for 10 – 12 hours

What you feed your fish will depend on what type of fish you have in the tanks.
