FEEDING
Food must provide fish with the elements needed to "build" their body (proteins) and the energy (from proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids) required for its smooth functioning.
Feeding:
In the wild, Tiretracks live on small crustaceans, varieties of worms and small fish. In a tank, they often prefer live food, but can be induced to eat frozen bloodworms, glass worms, krill and daphnia, to name a few.
Feeding Bettas
Normally betta fish live to be 2-5 years old, but some betta fishes live to be nearly 8 years old. Male bettas living in laboratories with large individual tanks and daily exercise have lived 10 years or longer.
Feeding level: Depending on the size and the shape of the mouth, fish will feed on three levels: On the surface of the water; mid-water, where they wait for smaller morsel to drop down; and bottom feeding fish, where the fish digs around.
Feeding
The food energy requirements of fish are only about ten percent of what is necessary for mammals and birds (Smith, 1989).
Feeding Tropical Fish
One of the most important aspects of maintaining an aquarium is feeding the fish. They are dependant on your proper care.
Feeding Your Fish: Diet, Nutrition, How and What Fish Eat
Introduction ...
Feeding Needs
Many nutrients are already present in fresh water aquarium substrate. Macro nutrients that are usually present include oxygen, hydrogen, calcium and nitrogen.
Overfeeding is simply putting more food in the aquarium than the fish can use. Uneaten food is the biggest danger, but even surplus food that has been eaten can wind up back in the tank as excess fish waste.

Feeding
It is best to start off feeding your Arowana bits of tropical flake food, then switching to small pellets and live foods. Some Arowanas, however, will only take live foods, at least to begin with.
Feeding the Betta
Proper betta fish care means proper feeding. Feed pellets designed specifically for them, however, they will consume regular fish food. Feed a few pellets, 3-5 pellets every day or every two days.
Feeding: Accepts all kinds of food but prefers live food.
Breeding: mouth-brooder. Males become very aggressive during spawning. The fish needs a good and varied diet to spawn. The female will brood for up to 4 weeks.
Feeding Requirements
Tropheus moorii need to have the proper diet. With an improper diet they will get bloat, which will almost definitely result in the death of them.
Feeding your anemone
Feeding can range from 3 times a week to once every 2 weeks. Some aquarists have had success not directly feeding their anemones at all, although I suspect their anemones are capturing food that is meant for the fish.
FEEDING HABITATS
Fish are usually divided into four eating groups: carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, and limnivores.
Carnivores are meat-eating fish which are usually predatory by nature.
FEEDING
The next thing to know about dried foods is how much to feed. Unless you want your fish to spawn or are raising their babies, don't feed much at all.
Feeding Ring
A floating or supported ring on the water surface into which a floating diet is delivered. The ring prevents the feed from floating away.
Feeding
They are not fussy feeders, naturally eating small aquatic invertebrates. Mine relish bloodworms and daphnia, especially live forms. They adapt well to flake foods and frozen.
Feeding
Other than standard commercial fish food, you can also breed your own brine shrimp
and enrich them further using phytoplankton (not yeast!).

You Are What You Eat
Nutrition is obviously vital to your fishes health.
Feeding:
The African Fan Shrimp feeds using specialised fan-like appendages near its head to filter small food particles from the water.
Feeding the Gold Banded Peckoltia Plecostomus is not difficult since it is not a finicky eater. Feeding off the bottom of the aquarium, it gets most of its nutrition from left over food and algae.
Feeding the Candy Stripe Plecostomus is not difficult due to the fact that it is not a picky eater. Feeding off the bottom of the aquarium, it gets most of its nutrition from left over food and algae.
Feeding them is easy as far as what to feed, but you'll need to develop a system to make sure they are getting food. They are slow and have tiny mouths which makes it difficult for them to eat quickly. Other fish will get the food first.
Feeding the jawfish is very easy, as it will eat any form of finely chopped meaty food or any of the frozen prepared diets for carnivores.
Feeding:Make sure they do get some food occasionally. A small feeding after the light can solve feeding problems.
Size:7 cm.
pH: 6.5-7.5 ...
Feeding usually initiates some action in Banjos, however you almost have to drop the food right on the fish for it to react. Feeding after lights out will ensure that these fish get their share of food.
Feeding
Carnivore: Live or dead meaty foods. There is no particular need to feed live fish, as they can easily be weaned onto thawed mussel, prawn, etc - some even take pellets which can help to provide a varied diet.
Feeding Habits Fresh spinach, zucchini, peas and lettuce. Will also feed upon plants and algae. Frozen blood worms, brine shrimp, glass worms, plankton and beef heart. Live fish, brine shrimp, glass worms, tubifex worms and blood worms.
Feeding is easy as the Texas cichlid readily takes pellets, flake foods, and live and frozen food. This species is a prolific breeder and breeding in aquarium is relatively easy. Adult fish pair up and become territorial.
Feeding: Omnivorous
Social Behavior: Non-aggressive; will mix well with other non-aggressive fish
More Information ...
Feeding:Omnivorous, Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi likes insects and will also eat newborn livebearers, but accepts flake food and other food as well.
Size: 3.5-4 cm
pH: 6.0-7.5 ...
Feeding the Pario-Ancistrus is not difficult since it is not a finicky eater. Feeding off the bottom of the aquarium, it gets most of its nutrition from left over food and algae.
Feeding practices are the same as for B. splendens fry and other small bubblenesting Bettas. Green water for the first 3 days is my choice of initial micro-food.
Feeding
Fish will naturally go for long periods without food, but you should work to a scientifically proven regime.
Feeding of regular aquarium fare is acceptable.

Feedings should be done three times daily in smaller amounts. And, since Butterflyfish have such small mouths, food needs to be chopped finely for them to be able to eat it.

I have just recently realized that my female was caring eggs, and by recently I mean that the female has a mouth full of eggs this morning. How can I feed her without killing or harming the eggs and her in the process?
Overfeeding can be a problem indeed especially in tanks with not enough bio and other filtration.
When feeding your fish, feed them only as much as they can eat in a few minutes - a little at a time! Take a small amount of food, such as several flakes, and drop it into the tank. Then stand away from the aquarium, and watch your fish eat.
(When feeding bread to a young, small culture, break it up into crumbles. This provides a lot of surface area for the worms with minimal mass for bacteria and fungal colonization. As the culture can handle it, feed more and in bigger pieces.
Typical feeding position is at an angle of about 45
