Fish Food for all Aquarium Fish
Which food suits your fish?
Suitable fish food depends on the species or group, the size of the fish, the preferred food form and feeding behaviour. Use this guide to narrow down the available range. You do not need to complete every field. Start with the fish group or food form and add the feeding zone only if it is relevant to your fish. The suggestions appear above the full product range. Available pack sizes, current prices and detailed feeding quantities are shown with each product.

How to choose suitable fish food
Species or fish group, animal size, food form and feeding zone all help to narrow down the choice. Our range includes food for discus, cichlids, catfish and other bottom dwellers as well as products for mixed ornamental-fish aquariums.
Flakes, granules, tablets, chips, wafers and sticks
Food forms differ in production, structure and behaviour in water. Flakes are rolled into thin pieces, while granules are usually shaped in an extruder. Tablets, chips and wafers are commonly used for targeted feeding at the bottom or on surfaces. Sticks and pellets are available in different sizes for larger fish.
Surface, midwater or bottom
The feeding zone should suit the natural feeding behaviour of the animals. Flakes are often taken at the surface and in the upper water layer. Depending on production, granules can float or sink at different speeds. Tablets, chips and wafers are particularly useful when food needs to reach bottom-dwelling fish.
Staple, supplementary and specialist food
Staple and complete foods are designed for regular basic feeding. Supplementary foods add variety or particular ingredients, while specialist foods serve a defined purpose such as rearing, colour enhancement or the needs of a particular fish group.
Examples from the range
The range includes suitable foods for discus, cichlids, catfish and other bottom dwellers. Suitable rearing foods can also be found through the selection above.
Feeding quantity and variety
There is no single feeding quantity for every aquarium. Consider species, size and number of animals and actual food intake. Different suitable foods can provide variety, while uneaten food should not remain in the aquarium.
Frequently asked questions
Which food is suitable for a community aquarium?
Start with “General ornamental fish”, then compare fish size, feeding zone and the requirements of the species actually kept.
What is the difference between flakes and granules?
Flake food and granules differ mainly in their production and structure. Flake food is rolled into thin flakes, whereas granules are shaped in an extruder. Granules are usually more stable, disintegrate more slowly and generally cloud aquarium water less. Depending on production, they may sink quickly or slowly; hard and soft granules are also available. Flake food, on the other hand, is easy for many fish to take and is particularly suitable for feeding at the surface and in the upper water layer.
Which food is suitable for bottom-dwelling fish?
Select “Catfish/bottom dwellers” or the optional feeding zone “Bottom”. Tablets, chips and wafers are often suitable because they reach the bottom and remain accessible there.
Can I combine different foods?
Yes. A varied combination can address different feeding zones and nutritional needs, provided every food suits the fish and the total quantity remains appropriate.
How do I find the right food size?
The food should be easy for the fish to take. Young and small fish need fine food, while larger fish can handle larger granules, pellets or sticks. Pack size and particle size are not the same thing.
What is the difference between staple and supplementary food?
Staple food is designed for regular basic feeding. Supplementary food adds variety or selected nutrients but does not necessarily provide complete nutrition on its own.
