Food & feeding
Build a feeding record that helps you buy the right bag
Measure the food your fish actually receive. A record is more useful than guessing how long a large bag will last.
Record the useful details
Note the product, daily grams, water temperature, appetite and leftovers. Use the same small weighing container so measurements stay comparable.
Use the bag-life planner
Enter your measured daily ration in Food HQ to estimate bag duration. The estimate is a purchasing aid; follow the food label and adjust to the fish and conditions.
Keep nutrition species-specific
Use appropriate complete food. Fancy goldfish need a feeding plan suited to them; sturgeon need suitable food that reaches the bottom. Avoid replacing a balanced diet with a single treat.
