20 Variety is the spice of life Feed several different types of sera food from small cans. Monotonous feeding with food that is by far not fresh anymore makes the fish lose their liveliness, and the colors will fade. The fish can even become sick. Light and air get in contact with the food every time you open the can. Vitamins and sensitive nutrients are destroyed by this. Translucent bags therefore are not suitable for packing the food! How you can recognize the leaders When feeding, you will quickly find out which fish is “the boss” in the aquarium. The strongest fish eat first – usually, these are the most colorful and most active fish. Fed too much? If the food is still lying on the bottom of the aquarium, it was too much. Remove uneaten food re- mainders with the sera gravel cleaner without de- lay. Possibly add fish that search for food near the aquarium bottom, for in- stance armored catfish. However, please consider by all means that these fish as well require appropriate food and are not “scaven- gers”! Tips & tricks When and how to feed? Feed small portions two or three times a day. Feed only as much as the fish eat within 3 – 5 minutes. Distribute the food evenly on the water surface. Do not feed on one day per week. Your fish will detoxify as they actively search for food on these days. This does not apply for juvenile fish – these must be fed daily, preferably even several times! Feed them with a spoon reserved for this purpose. By doing so you will always feed the same amount. The quality and aroma of the food remain unaffected. We will show you on page 22 how you can easily soften and de- aerate dry food, making it sink down!
