If i get different kinds of fish, cna they all eat the same kind of food? I dont want to buy like 10 bottles of food. Also.. When i feed my fishys, what if some dont get to eat, the bigger and scaryer ones take it? Will the on ethat didnt get to eat die?
Answers:
They can all eat the same thing. Make sure that the food has a lot of nutrition, though. Some fish may need more protein and some more vitamins. Make sure your food has both. I feed my fish the same thing, and they're all very different. It'll be okay.
As long as the fish aren't too different, like a betta and an oscar, or something like that.
EDIT: WHAT KIND OF FISH ARE YOU GETTING??
no you need different food.
research it before you get all the fish, ask someone at PetSmart, for gods sake.
yes the big ones can eat the food and the small fish too!
it happened to me.
there are only certain fish u can pair up.
Get advice from a pet store before purchasing.
well not enough info to help you.. dont know what kind of fish you have and what kind of fish your getting.. but generally all fish eat tropical fish food// unless it is saltwater fish
ask a pet shop worker
No. Do not get information from a pet store, especially places like PetCo, PetsMart, and Walmart. They are only selling fish to make money, and do not care how it is taken care of, as long as they sell it.
Instead, try asking around some other forums website. I've found PetQnA.com to be full of dumbasses that don't know the right answers to your questions. Only some I have noticed to be knowledgable.
Try this website:
www.fishforums.com
it is a very helpful website full of kind and helpful people. Ask your question there, you will get a lot of good answers.

Same kinda food "fish flake".
you can buy extra treats like Algae Wafers, cichlid sticks, dried blood worms (mosquito larva), if you want.
If you have a pleco (plecostomus), you really should feed him an Algae Wafer every 3 days. %26lt;-- they grow up to 18 inches (46 cm) They need 55 gal when they get big, but yet everyone seems to buy them anyway and make them live in smaller tanks.
It completely depends on the species of fish you are planning to get. Can you follow up with some that you are considering?
When determining what sort of fish you want it's important to research the needs of each species and choose ones that work well together. Animals that are slow eaters like African Dwarf Frogs probably don't want to be paired up with quick eating fish like Danios for example. You will need to determine if the fish you want are carnivores (meat eaters), herbivores (plant eaters) or omnivores (plant and meat). Some fish are pickier then others and will only eat live or frozen foods where some will do fine on flakes. Either way, offering a variety of foods will ensure a more balanced diet.
buy fish that can live together, like gold fish( and other fish alike), tatras and algae eater. dont buy fishes like oscar , swordtail or dragon fish, unless u put all the other fishes in the tank in for about 3 month, then put those in( while they arent big)
if u want different types of fish just get different fish that are tropical like Molly's and platys because all u have to have then is tropical fish food
first most fish eat flakes some fish like a mixture of blood works and flake check wht food they like and build around that
