Plant or animal material intended for consumption by pet fish
"Fish food" redirects here. For fish as human food, see Fish as food. For aquaculture feed, see commercial fish feed.
Aquarium fish feed is plant or animal material intended for consumption by pet fish kept in aquariums or ponds. Fish foods normally contain macronutrients, trace elements and vitamins necessary to keep captive fish in good health. Approximately 80% of fishkeeping hobbyists feed their fish exclusively prepared foods that most commonly are produced in flake, pellet or tablet form.[1] Some fish foods also contain additives such as sex hormones or beta carotene to artificially enhance the color of ornamental fish.
