What do you feed a fish?

Feeding Flake Food

Flake food is commonly overfed to aquarium fish. Keep in mind that an aquarium fish's stomach is generally the size of their eye. Feed only the amount of flake food that the fish will consume in 30 to 60 seconds. Two very small feedings per day is better than one large feeding per day. Excess food will decrease the water quality and increase filter maintenance.
