Choosing the best aquatic gel diet is based on the species you are feeding, and its wild-type feeding habits (e.g., carnivorous, omnivorous, herbivorous) and
lifestage (e.g., growing, reproducing or maintenance). For more information on any of these diets, consult the detailed spec sheets or contact Customer Service.
