Question
I don't have any freshwater fish food left and I only have Saltwater fish food left from my last aquarium... Am I able to feed my fish this food?? Or will they get sick or something?? Is the food the same in any way??

Answer
Bonnie,

It depends on what kind of fish you have, and what kind of food you have. Since I don't know what kind of fish you have, I cannot truly answer this. But, I do know that you can feed your freshwater and saltwater fish, brine shrimp and blood worms. Look at the fish food bottle. It will say something like good for both freshwater and salt water fish. I would think that as long as you are not feeding them that food everyday, it shouldn't be a problem. Again, look at the food and see if it is good for both fresh and salt water fish.
