Things You'll Need
- Fish flakes
- Live food
- Boiled vegetables
Instructions
Give your tiger barbs a good quality flake food in the morning and evening. Give them as much as they can eat within five to 10 minutes. If they leave any food, you are giving them far too much. Put in one pinch of food at a time.
Provide live food such as bloodworms or brine shrimp two or three times a week as a change from the flakes. Live food gives them a chance to exhibit natural chasing behavior, but tiger barbs will also eat frozen bloodworms and shrimp.
Provide a small quantity of boiled vegetables such as lettuce or zucchini once a week, although a good flake food contains vegetable matter. Chop the vegetables up and give your fish a tiny bit at a time.
