Nutrition of ornamental fish.
Because thousands of species comprise the aquarium hobby, ornamental fish nutrition is an art and a science that must be approached systematically and holistically. Examinations of species-specific anatomy and natural history are useful starting points. Food fish research provides fundamental nutritional information, but food fish are not ideal models for all ornamentals. This article briefly addresses freshwater and marine fish issues, including considerations for pond fish and live foods.
