Fish Food

When fish aren't reproducing or fleeing from predators, they look for food. Herbivores graze for hours. Carnivores eat and then bypass easy-to-catch meals. For herbivores, algae meet some of their needs, and so will flake foods. For carnivores, provide frozen shrimp or a smorgasbord of different kinds of fish. Fish should be fed twice daily.

Initial setup:
$19: Kent Marine Nautilus Sea Squirt Feeding Prong
$12: Frozen Piscine Energetics Mysis Shrimp cubes
