The right kind of food is important for the proper growth and health of your pet fishes. Variations in feeding is necessary to ensure a balance diet for aquarium fishes. Here, I will recommend different types of commercially prepared foods that I have been feeding to my fishes for years.
1. Xtreme Aquatic Nano Fish Food
Nano fishes usually have smaller mouth. I have been keeping nano fishes for ages and as they have small mouth and specific diet requirements.
While choosing the right kind of pellets for your nano fishes, you need to make sure the food that you are feeding them is 0.5 mm or smaller in size, so that they can intake the pellets without any trouble. Also, most nano fish, especially livebearers need high protein diet. Look for high percentage of protein before buying any sort for food for your beloved nano fishes.
The Xtreme Aquatic Nano Fish Food is high in protein and its pallet size is also 0.5 mm. Also, nano fishes go crazy over this pallets. You can check out this item on Amazon by clicking here.

- Gouramis
- Zebra Danio
- Other livebearers.
These fishes love these pellets. The pellet size is 0.5 mm. My fish with small mouths can easily eat pellets of this size. If you have fries, you can crush these pallets and feed them.
