Why High-Quality Fish Food Matters
The Role of Proper Nutrition in Aquatic Health π
In the wild, fish consume a natural diet of insects, algae, plankton, and crustaceans. Many commercial fish foods use fillers like wheat, soy, and artificial dyes, leading to poor digestion, lower immunity, and dull coloration.
By creating species-specific fish food, we can replicate their natural diet, ensuring:
β Optimal growth & metabolism
β Stronger immune systems
β Enhanced fin & scale vibrancy
β Better digestion & tank cleanliness
