Fish food for all your favorite species and schools

There is a large assortment of fish food available to suit the dietary needs of your fish, whether they are bottom feeders, algae eaters. You can also find fish food varieties specific to your freshwater, saltwater, tropical, or pond species. Providing your fish friends with food specifically formulated for them will not only keep them happy but also promote their health and vitality.

While there are fish pellets that support a healthy immune system, there are also fish flakes that enhance the natural colors of your school. There are also freeze dried bloodworms that make excellent fish food because they are rich in protein and many species find them very appetizing. Made especially for maintaining koi and goldfish health, pond fish food is available in various fish flake and pellet forms. There are also hassle free options, from floating koi sticks that are easily digestible and formulated to bring out the vibrant red and yellow hues of your koi and goldfish, to special pond fish food available in feeder blocks to feed your fish while you're away.

Most types of fresh and saltwater fish flakes and pellets are available in formulas that will not cloud the water inside your aquarium. In addition to pond fish food developed for koi, goldfish and other types of pond fish, there are specialized foods for pet crabs, lobsters, and shrimp that are high in protein and formulated for their optimal growth. Whether you have saltwater, freshwater, bottom-feeding or algae eating fish, give them the fish food from Petco to promote their health, vitality and overall all well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best food for fish depends on the type of fish you have. Generally, it's best to feed your fish a combination of commercial fish food pellets, flakes, and/or frozen food. You can also give them live food like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia to supplement their diet. Avoid overfeeding and make sure to research the specific needs of your fish before deciding what to feed them.

Most fish do not need to be fed daily, but rather three to four times a week. However, it is important to determine the specific needs of your fish before deciding how often to feed them. Younger fish may need to be fed more often than adults, for instance, and some species may require more frequent meals due to their high metabolism.

Fish eat a variety of foods, depending on the type. Common foods include plankton, plants, insects, other small fish, worms, crustaceans, and mollusks.
