Fish for Aquarium Supplies

Fish make colorful pets, and maintaining their aquariums can be a fun hobby.

Fish food

Fish food comes in four different varieties:

  • Fish food flakes: Flakes are by far the most common fish food. Conduct a little research to find out what your fish would eat in the wild and choose your flaked food accordingly.

  • Fish food pellets: Pellets are similar to flakes, but they're made for larger fish.    

  • Frozen fish food: Frozen fish foods come in sealed packages for easy distribution. Most frozen foods consist of animal remains, like brine shrimp and bloodworms. These make for a nutritious food source or occasional snack.    

  • Live fish food: Live food consists of brine shrimp, bloodworms, nematodes, wingless fruit flies, or even garden worms. Live fish food can be your fish's regular food, or you can use it as a treat.

Aquariums

You can choose either an acrylic aquarium or a glass aquarium. Aquariums also come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including: rectangular aquariums, hexagonal aquariums, or even spherical aquariums.

The size of your aquarium will determine how many fish can live in it. If you only want a couple of small fish, then a 2- to 5-gallon fish tank should suffice. However, if you want a community of fish, then you probably want a fish tank that accommodates at least 20 gallons. The larger the fish tank, the easier it is to maintain healthy water. It is usually recommended that beginners start with a 20-gallon fish tank to make aquarium and water maintenance as easy as possible.

From live coral colonies and sponges to algae eaters, eBay offers a huge selection of fresh and saltwater aquarium supplies to help you maintain a healthy, beautiful habitat for your fish.

Aquarium filtration

Filtration systems ensure that your fish are swimming in a safe and clean environment. From simple under-gravel aquarium filters to pumps that use charcoal aquarium filters, filtration systems are not only good for the fish, but also keep the aquarium looking its best. Protein aquarium skimmers provide an added level of cleaning by blasting millions of tiny bubbles into the aquarium to help separate the oils and other biological wastes from the water.
