...Aquarian Tropical fish flake is an excellent fish food for all fishkeepers. It is a food used by many of the most experienced fishkeepers and breeders. The food comes in ideal sized containers for a few fish or a fish house full of hungry and greedy fish. The food is of very high quality, in foil sealed packaging to keep it fresh. It is able to sink if placed directly in the water, which is particalarly useful when there are catfish with will not feed from the surface. The food does not seem to make the water cloudy if accidentally overfed, although it still not recommended, as water clarity does not mean clean water After testing all the foods avaliable at my local aquatic centre, aquarian is the only one that I liked, and the fish seemed to enjoy it to!!...

This food claims to be a complete food but i always use... Read review

...A fully furnished aquarium with healthy fish forms an attractive feature in the home. It not only looks beautiful when lit up in the dark but it gives you a relaxing feeling as you observe the different species of fish in your tank. Anyone who owns an aquarium will appreciate the beauty it can bring. One of the most important rules in fish keeping is the quantity and quality of the food you give your fish. Thanks to years of research and development, fishes in captivity are probably better fed than their relatives in the wild. When I first got involved with tropical fish I thought all fish food was the same, I would go into the pet shop and just buy any brand of flake food. I never once thought of reading the label on the container or even to ask if this type of food would suit my fish. By not finding out this information I had... Read review
