Commercial fish diets can be classified into floating (extruded) or traditional sinking (pressure-pelleted) pellets. Both floating and sinking feeds can produce satisfactory growth, but some fish prefer to float and others prefer to float so which fish feed pellets are better? Sink or float? That's a problem. Before I begin, I want to make a statement that neither can be considered absolutely superior to others, and that your choice of floating or sinking pellets depends on what kind of fish you have.
There are both pros and cons both in the two types of pellets. However, the use of floating pellets provides more advantages compared to sinking ones:
1. Reduce Waste. Sinking pellets that remain at the bottom of the tank are often lost and wasted. However, even after several hours in the water, the floating feed pellets retain their shape and the uneaten feed remains intact.
2. Decrease Disease. The sediment pellets that remain at the bottom of the tank eventually decay, which can lead to bacterial growth and the spread of harmful fish diseases.
3. Convenient Observation. Another reason to feed floating (crushed) pellets is that farmers can directly observe the intensity of fish intake and adjust feeding rates accordingly. Determining whether the feeding rate is too low or too high is important to maximize fish growth and feed utilization efficiency. However, sunken pellets will fall to the bottom of the tank and not even the fish will find them.
For all these reasons, floating fish feed pellets have recently become available in quantities that may make their use more feasible. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Website: sunwit fish feed machine
