fish feed

Flakes for tanks

Fish feed is food formulated for fish, whether in aquaculture operations, fish farms, or home aquariums.

Commercial fish feed comes as pellets, flakes, or granules, with formulations varying by species and life stage.

The term also works as a verb: We fish feed twice daily.

A fish feed can be an event where fish are fed, especially as a tourist attraction.
