Hello All,
Firstly a very good day to you and I hope everyone is keeping safe!
I understand my question may be a bit clichéd to all the experienced aquatists out there but please bear with my rookie questions;
I have a fresh water aquarium with a lone bala shark, a pair of small (Approx 4cm long) koi fish and a pair of small angel fish.
I currently feed them flake floating food. And as per various online websites, all the fishes I have are top feeders (a classification (a.k.a 'top, mid, bottom feeder' that I came to know recently) but what I observe is that I often see my koi scurrying along the bottom, eating what seems like they are feeding off scraps of food that fell down and my angel fish don't look so keen on eating the floating flake food.
So I am curious, do I need to buy food meant for mid and bottom feeders like pellets, granules etc ?
In addition, in the pet shops, I have seen color-enhancing flakes for goldfish, is that something I should get for my koi fish in addition to the flake food I feed normally ?
Furthermore, given the fish that I have, would someone be so kind as to advise me what all should I buy to feed my fishes to give them a complete diet because I really want to give my fishes a healthy, nourishing diet!
Thank you for your time!
