Fish Food and Fish Diseases

Bassleer G

Without too technical information we will explain what we experienced during our 40+ years of feeding ornamental fish at wholesale level. In the early 90s, during our daily practice, we had 1 goal: using a complete food for ornamental fish that would provide high quality fish within 3-7 days, depending on the origin and quality of the fish. Next to the basic ingredients, we have learned in the past 25 years that many other additional feed additives can play an important role to control the health of our fish: to help the immune (defense) system of the fish, to assist in faster repair after damage, to prevent or control infections, etc. In general, with the recent studies and experience (especially in aquaculture) we learned to understand the health benefits of a functional fish food= a food that gives more benefits than just ‘feeding fish’, a food that can be seen as a “nutricament”= nutritional medication with products from nature, avoiding (preventing) the use of medications.
