Here
is
Nevin's daughter,
Catherine, age 5, feeding the fish in a fish bowl. She picked out a few pieces of Freeze Dried Blood Worms
and was very careful to just feed a few. Can you see a red Male Betta just below Catherine's little finger? The Betta came to the surface and ate all the food, so Catherine gave him
another small feeding. He ended up getting 4 small feedings and there was no uneaten food left in the bowl.

1. What Foods to Feed Your Fish
Most small fish living in
fish bowls will do well
on a diet of flake food
and freeze dried
blood worms, which are
actually mosquito larvae. Click
here for more information about appropriate fish for fish bowls.
What does your specific
fish eat? For many
species of fish this web
site contains a page of
information about that
species of fish. Each of
these pages has a
paragraph about feeding
that species of fish. Click
here to go to the paragraph about feeding Bettas on the page about Male Bettas.

2. How to Feed Your Fish
Feed your
fish twice a day with floating food. We recommend you feed your fish products such as the ones listed above. Start by feeding your fish a very small pinch of food. Carefully watch them
eat. If they eat it all quickly, then give them another small pinch. Feeding your fish slowly in small amounts will give you a chance to watch them and make sure they are all eating.
Keep giving them small pinches as long as they eat all of it quickly. Feed them as much as they’ll eat
without leaving any uneaten food.

this advertiser's web site.
Food that sinks
to the bottom and is not eaten will cause water pollution,
so be sure all the food is eaten. Use your net to remove the food that is not eaten after ten minutes. It’s fun to feed smaller fish a few of Freeze Dried Blood Worms for dessert.
Other Foods.
It's good for most fish to eat some frozen or live brine shrimp and a few live Black Worms. We try to alternate feeding live or frozen brine
shrimp with Live Black Worms. One day most fish get brine shrimp, and the next day they get Live Black Worms. Click
here to read more about Live
Black Worms.
Do Your Fish Need to Eat Everyday?
No they don't, but don't abuse them! Most fish
that you can buy from this web site or elsewhere are very young, and like all young animals, they need food at least twice a day, every day. Make a commitment to take the time to feed your fish
carefully twice every day.

About our Fish Photographs ...
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
;^ }
Will the fish you get from us look like the fish in our pictures? No! This is similar to buying kittens and puppies, that will change as they grow to become cats and dogs. We stock and ship fish that are the ideal size to sell. Not so small that they will not do well when shipped. Yet not so big that they have become much more expensive. The fish in almost all of our pictures were young fish like the ones we have for sale that we raised up, and you can too!
