Food for marine fish

For marine fish

— specialized diets for marine aquariums are formulated with the natural food of saltwater fish in mind and may include algae, krill, plankton, and other marine ingredients. Flakes, pellets, and tablets are selected according to the size of the fish and the feeding level it occupies.

Unlike universal freshwater foods, these blends are designed for marine aquarium inhabitants. A plant-based component is important for surgeonfish, while clownfish and many other omnivorous species benefit from a mixed diet.
