Feeder Aquarium

If you are an amatuer to salt water aquariums and having your own tropical fish, the first thing you need to know about their care is how much food they should be getting. A good rule of thumb is when you feed your fish try and use a stopwatch and time exactly how long it takes them to eat the food. It should take roughly 2 minutes for the fish to finish eating all their food.

If your fish finish all the food in less than 2 minutes your probably not feeding them enough. However, if after 2 minutes there’s still food in in the tank that they haven’t eaten then you are probably over feeding them and have to cut back.

A much more accurate way to measure how much food fifty adult tropical fish should be eating in your salt water aquarium is approximately ten grams of food in one month, but that can carry with variety and growth.

You have to learn what type of food your tropical fish eat. Some fish can’t be kept in a tank that has a coral reef because they like to eat the little invertebrates that make the coral their home. Predatory fish typically need to have frozen or live food.

Bottom dwelling tropical fish in your salt water aquariums should be fed food that is heavy enough to sink to the bottom of the tank, these fish do not do well with fish foods that float on the tanks surface hence the name bottom dwellers, they eat the food off the bottom of your salt water aquarium.

Also, using automatic fish food feeders is always recommended. These feeders can be clamped onto the side of your aquarium, and once you have loaded the hopper with food, the feeder then automatically dispenses the food at regular intervals. What this will do is give you more flexibility and not have to force you to arrange your schedule around feeding your fish.

One final word of caution is the dangers of overfeeding your fish. The wasted food can wreck havoc on the pH levels of your aquariums water. If too much discarded food is contaminating the water it can contribute to the death of your fish.

All this great information is just basic information to get you started setting up your salt water aquariums.
