Many owners are concerned about how much to feed their new fish, but this depends on their size, species, water temperature, oxygen levels, the quality of the food and so on.
Feed only as much as they can consume within a few minutes. If you overfeed or feed poor-quality food, the waste will show in the water, ruining the beauty of the tank and necessitating more water changes.
It is common practice to offer two to three small feeds a day, but it is always best to follow the manufacturer’s advice.

Building on the popularity of the Aikiou Feeding Bowls, the Company of Animals has added to the range.
The Aikiou now comes in these new colours and includes a new ‘Aikiou Junior’ – a more compact version for smaller dogs, puppies, while travelling, or for owners with limited space. Because feeding from an Aikiou bowl involves a dog turning the wheel and opening several sliding doors to find the hidden food, it takes longer for a dog to eat and provides the additional benefit of the mental stimulation that ‘searching’ for food naturally brings.

GREEN is a new feeding system. Designed like a tuft of grass, but looking like a contemporary piece of art, a dog’s food can be scattered over the GREEN and then it’s up to them to push the food out between the blades.
Many dogs lack mental stimulation leading to boredom and unwanted behaviour like chewing. By entertaining dogs using their own food to stimulate them, owners can help to remove these problems. GREEN also prolongs eating time, something that can reduce the risk of vomiting, gagging and gas, and decrease the risk of ‘bloat’, a potentially fatal disease.
