Fish are cold blooded, and don't require energy to maintain their body temperature. They need very little food as a result. Generally the aquarium fish that we keep have a stomach about the size of their eye. If you feed them that volume of a good quality fish food per day, it should be sufficient. You can even skip one day a week and your fish will be well fed. It's also important to vary the menu. some live or frozen food once or twice a week will go a long way towards giving your fish adequate nutrition.

Feed them good food as described above but no more than they can consume in about 10 minutes. Otherwise they will not eat it and it will become rotten increasing the impurities in the tank.

depends what type of fish and how many, usually they need as much as they can eat in around 2 minutes, be careful too much flake food which isn't eaten will sink to bottom and rot away to ammonia

if it is a small fish (the same/smaller size than your fist) a pinch of fish food in the morning and afternoon is the proper amount

once or twice a day. But do not overfeed. If the food sinks and hits the bottom, then your feeding too much.

Fish live in the water, so generally they only need food. But they get their oxygen from the water through their gills, so they will need the water to have dissolved oxygen at a proper level.

I have a tropical fish. How much and what kind of food does it need?

It really depends on how many fish you have, what types, and the tank size. Tropical fish food is sold mostly anywhere, such as pet stores, walmart, and some grocery stores. Most fish only need a sprinkle of flakes or pellets a few times a day. Its also better to feed fish too little, than too much as they have little stomachs but typically will over eat.


If a population of fish in a lake is allowed to reproduce without anything to control this the fish population will stop growing What basic need are the fish competing for?

The fish will be competing for food, as a large number of fish need a large amount of food to keep them alive. As the population grows, the amount of food in excess will shrink, until there is only enough food for the fish already alive. When this happens, the weaker fish will die, as the stronger fish will outcompete them for the food.


How many food do aggressive fish need in a day to survive?

A general rule when feeding fish is to give them the amount of food the size of their eye. Otherwise, some fish will eat until they explode (not literally, but they can die from overeating or too much leftover food sitting in their tank). Always make sure you scoop out the food they don't eat after several minutes if you feed them too much.
