Which Dry Fish Food Should I Choose?
The best dry food depends on what your fish naturally eat, their size and how they prefer to feed. A varied diet using foods suited to the species you keep is usually preferable to relying on one food alone.
Everyday Food for Mixed Marine Fish
For clownfish, wrasse, damsels and other general marine fish, choose a complete everyday pellet or flake.
Good choices: Gamma Marine Complete Pellets, Vitalis Marine Pellets and Vitalis Marine Flakes.
Tangs, Rabbitfish & Marine Grazers
Herbivorous and grazing fish benefit from foods containing marine algae together with opportunities to naturally pick and graze.
Good choices: Gamma Natural Seaweed, Vitalis Algae Pellets, Vitalis Algae Flakes, Gamma Algae & Colour Boost and Vitalis Marine Grazer.
Small Fish & Plankton Feeders
Smaller fish require appropriately sized foods that can be easily captured from the water column.
Good choices: Calanus Drifters and Gamma Copepod Complete Pellets.
Premium Marine Diets
For customers looking for something beyond a conventional everyday pellet, specialist formulations provide alternative marine ingredients and feeding characteristics.
Good choice: EasyReefs DKI Marine Premium Pellets.
Natural Grazing & Interactive Feeding
Some foods can be attached directly to the aquarium glass or rockwork, encouraging fish to pick at their food and allowing you to observe natural grazing behaviour.
Good choices: Vitalis Marine Grazer, Gamma NutraShots and EasyReefs Easymasstick.
Calanus-Rich Foods
Calanus-based foods provide another useful option for adding variety to the diet.
Good choices: Calanus Soft Pellets, Calanus Drifters and Gamma Copepod Complete.
Specialist Foods
Some aquarium inhabitants have more specific requirements.
ZM Spirulina Powder is particularly useful for brine shrimp culture, breeding and supplementary fine feeding.
Tropic Marin Jellyfish Food is a specialist powdered food designed for jellyfish and other zooplankton filter feeders.
Pellets or Flakes?
Pellets provide consistent portion sizes and are available in different sizes and sinking characteristics.
Flakes are particularly flexible because larger flakes can be broken or crushed to suit different fish sizes.
Many aquariums can benefit from using both alongside appropriate frozen, live and grazing foods.
Don't Forget Feeding Behaviour
Choosing food isn't only about ingredients.
Some fish naturally pick from surfaces, others capture suspended food from the water column, while grazers may spend much of the day searching for food.
Matching the food size, format and feeding behaviour to your livestock can make feeding easier and provide greater dietary variety.
