Fish Food

Give your fish the nutrition they need in their preferred format. From classic tropical fish food flakes to specially formulated color-enhancing Betta food pellets, we carry a wide variety of nutritious foods and treats. Did you know that different types of fish need different types of food? Goldfish need a diet higher in vegetables, while most tropical fish need higher protein and fat content. Some, like Bettas, are entirely carnivorous and often do not make good community tank inhabitants. Fish with upturned mouths prefer to feed at the surface of the water and are considered top-feeders. Downturned mouths indicate feeding at the bottom of the tank and should be fed sinking pellets that contain algae and plant matter. Crustaceans like ghost shrimp are also bottom dwellers and prefer sinking sticks or pellets. You'll find floating foods for top-feeding fish, like guppies, mollies, Bettas, hatchetfish and halfbeaks, plus fish food for mid-level feeders like goldfish, Tiger Barbs and Cardinal and Neon Tetras, as well as options for bottom-feeders, like plecos, loaches, cory and other catfish at PetSmart. We make it easy to find everything you need for all the creatures in your aquarium. Many foods can be fed to both freshwater and saltwater fish. However, many marine species do best with frozen or freeze dried marine formulas that feature seafoods like shrimp, krill, plankton and seaweed. Some freshwater and saltwater fish prefer live foods, so be sure to research your species carefully. We also carry sinking pellets to feed invertebrates present in many reef tanks and some freshwater setups. You'll also find frozen fish foods and treats in the freezers at select PetSmart stores near you.
