The main feeds for angelfish include carnivorous baits such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, earthworms, and small live fish, as well as artificial feeds. These foods can be adjusted according to the size of the angelfish. Smaller fish can be fed bloodworms, mealworms, etc., while larger fish can be fed earthworms, small fish, small shrimps, etc. In addition, angelfish can also eat fish lice, tubifex worms, ciliates and other baits.
Under artificial breeding conditions, the choice of angelfish feed can be more diverse. Artificial feed is a common choice. It is inexpensive and easy to store, and can meet the basic nutritional needs of angelfish. For discus angelfish, artificial pellet feed, freeze-dried feed, and live bait are all common choices. Artificial pellet feed has a balanced nutrition and is suitable for daily feeding; freeze-dried feed retains most of the nutrients of the food and is suitable for stimulating appetite; live baits such as brine shrimp and bloodworms are rich in protein and can promote growth and color development.
To ensure the health of angelfish, it is recommended to select appropriate feeds according to their growth stages and nutritional needs. Juvenile fish need more protein and nutrients. You can choose high-protein pellet feed or freeze-dried feed, and appropriately mix in some live bait. During the adult stage, balanced pellet feed or freeze-dried feed can be the main diet, with occasional feeding of live bait as a supplement. In addition, it is also very important to choose feeds of reliable quality from regular brands to ensure a balanced nutrient composition and the absence of additives.
