Always at hand

Remember that you can freeze Gel Formula foods. Freshly prepared, they can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. However, if you have fewer fish and you don’t feed the entire stock from one sachet, freeze the food. Prepare portions of a size suitable for your stock in advance. Remember to always defrost the food before giving it to the fish! Soft gel food for fish are an excellent alternative to natural frozen food as they eliminate the risk of bringing pathogens with natural food into the aquarium.
