What are the different types of fish food?

The different types of fish food include dried fish foods, freeze-dried live fish foods, liquid fish foods and gel fish food. Dried fish food comes in many forms, including flakes, pellets, crisps, wafers, sticks and slow-feeder blocks. Chewy has a great selection of fish food for all types of fish, so you should have no trouble finding the perfect food for your finny friends.

How long should you keep fish food?

You should keep fish food for as long as the package recommends. Unopened fish food can be kept up until its expiration date if it is properly stored. Most fish keepers recommend tossing any fish food that has been open more than 6 months, as nutrient levels can decline over time. Also, some fish will reject food that has been open for too long or gone stale due to improper storage.

How often should I feed my fish?

You should feed your fish as often as is recommended for the type of fish you have. Most fish do well with being fed once or twice a day, but some fish, like goldfish, mollies and younger fish, may need to eat several small meals a day. Seek expert advice on the best feeding frequency for your fish if you are unsure.

What are the best fish foods?

The best fish foods are quality formulas made for the type of fish you have. Chewy offers a great selection of all the best foods for a variety of fish. Search our fish foods by category to find the perfect ones for your particular type of fish.

What kind of food do you feed your pet fish?

The type of fish food depends on the species of fish you have. For tropical fish, a combination of flakes and pellets works well, while goldfish usually prefer a high-quality pellet or sinking wafers. If you have carnivorous fish, you might want to feed them frozen or freeze-dried foods like blood worms or brine shrimp. Herbivores, on the other hand, enjoy plant-based options like algae wafers or spirulina. Always match the food with your fish's specific diet to keep them healthy!

How often should fish be fed?

Fish should generally be fed once or twice a day, depending on the species. Small fish might need to be fed more frequently, while larger fish or adult fish may only need one meal a day. It's important to avoid overfeeding, as leftover fish food can pollute the tank and harm water quality. A good rule of thumb is to feed your fish only what they can consume in a few minutes. If you're unsure, stick to the recommended feeding guidelines based on your fish species and adjust based on their activity levels and size.

How long does fish food last?

The shelf life of fish food depends on the type and how it's stored. Dry foods, like flakes and pellets, typically last about six months to a year when stored in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and heat. Once opened, they should be used within a few months for optimal freshness. Frozen or freeze-dried foods can last up to six months if stored properly in the freezer or a sealed container. Proper storage helps maintain the food's nutritional value and prevents spoilage.
