Fighter Fish Food

We often see people feeding food to fish in the aquarium. But do we know what food they really need and what quantity they need! Most people depend on the Local Fish store to decide as to what your fish needs. And that may not be 100% time 100% Right.
We at Easypets.in recommend always good quality branded packed food against the live feed. Some people feed their fish fresh vegetables, worms and other smaller variety of fish (for eg Gold fish). These come with their own problems and we do not care much about the after effects. Live fish / Worms might come with parasites and bacteria which can infect your tank or pond. We have numerous such cases where customers have complained about infection due to live fish feeding. There is more to this. Live feed is obviously good source of proteins but the fish in the tank / pond requires carbs and vitamins. That is not given in sufficient quantity can cause deficiency.  Our last word: DO NOT FEED LIVE FEED to your fish if you want a healthy aquarium. Always buy good quality branded Fish food based on their eating habit.
Fish foods normally contain macro nutrients, trace elements and vitamins necessary to keep your fish in good health. Aquarium fish feed is plant or animal extracts intended for consumption by pet fish. Some exotic species require special diets. Find a fish food specific to your fish. Pick food that floats, sinks, or slowly sinks depending on your fish's mouth shape. In most cases, fish only need to be fed once or twice a day, and you only need to feed a small amount. Your fish should be able to get enough nutrients from the food they can consume in under five minutes, as long as the food provides for their nutritional needs. Remove the food that is uneaten after ten minutes. If a trail of poop is hanging from your fish, their intestine may be partially blocked due to overfeeding or the wrong type of food. If the water gets dirty enough that you need to do a water change more than once a week, you may be overfeeding the fish, or the tank may be overcrowded. We hand pick good quality fish food from the best manufacturers all across the globe for healthy fish growth. We offer food for all varieties for Fish.

There are three categories of fish (by feeding habit)
  • Herbivorous
American Flag fish, Ottos, Most African Cichlids Plecos, Siamese Algae eaters etc are absolute herbivorous. For these little ones you need to feed flakes of food which will be algae wafers.

Good quality wafers sold by us are JBL Krill Premium Food Flakes, JBL Spirulina Food Flakes, JBL Pond Flakes

  • Omnivores
Most of the Fish are omnivore’s category. They generally feed on meat and plants. For these fish you can feed some generic food available in the market. The best food for this category available are Ocean Free Xo Humpy, JBL NovoGranoMix,  Tetra Bits Complete.
  • Carnivores
This is probably the smallest category, which thrives on only meat. They can also categorise as hunter fish. For eg. Betta, Arowanas and Oscars which are very common Aquarium fish in India fall in this category. You need to extra careful while sourcing live feed. Some people feel that the live fish feeding is cheaper because of the availability of the live fish in large quantity. But the conditions in which these live fish are breed necessarily don’t call for taking a risk.The best food in this category we have is Oceanfree AR-G2 Pro Arowana Intense Color, JBL Grana Cichlid.

Fish Pond Air Compressor

Everything about Pond Aeration Everyone knows that pond with fish needs good amount of Oxygen. Life without oxygen is impossible and a pond with less amount of Oxygen can hold only less number of fish. To support large amount of fish in a captive pond, you need to provide external Air (which will contain Oxygen). Pond with fish will generate a huge amount of toxic air from the waste and decomposed material at the bottom and hence the bottom of the pond will always lack Oxygen. A lot of people use spray bars or fountains to re-circulate water thru fresh air by means if which Oxygen is added to the water. This was harmful gases will be released to the atmosphere and Oxygen gets added because the surface area of water getting in contact on the moving water will increase. Its always advisable to leave the surface (top) of the pond free from Water lilies and lotus plants because these plants cover the top, the maximum area will not have access to fresh air. Otherwise you need to have H

Aquarium Chiller

Fish and invertebrates  are cold blooded and hence you must be aware that their body temperature is controlled by the temperature of the habitat they live in. Water temperature in fish tank or Aquarium hence is a very important factor. Sudden fall or rise of even 5 degree temperature will become fatal for the fish. Hence its recommended to keep the water temperature stable. The fish requires optimal temperature range and not extreme. In India, certain regions are prone to extreme climate. The variance between day time temperature and night temperature varies from 5 degrees to 25 degrees. These can cause same change in water in a pond or fish tank. In such conditions we recommend use of heaters and chillers / aquarium fans. Continues cycles of temperature variance in water can cause stress to the fish and stress can cause various disease because during high stress the immune system doesn’t work properly. More over increase in water temperature also decreases the Oxygen le

And a lot of people are ignorant towards and get into trouble or find difficulty after they start off.This is a basic requirement of fish keeping.
