Troubleshooting

Fish not eating the flakes

Ensure the water temperature is suitable for feeding (generally above 10°C/50°F for cold water fish). Try offering a smaller amount or at a different time of day. Verify the flakes are fresh and not expired.

Water appears cloudy after feeding

This may indicate overfeeding. Reduce the amount of food offered. Ensure your pond or aquarium has adequate filtration and performs regular water changes.

Flakes disintegrate too quickly

Feed only what the fish can consume within a few minutes. Avoid over-saturating the flakes in the water.
