Feeding
The zebrafish is omnivorous. It primarily eats zooplankton, insects, insect larvae, and phytoplankton, although it can eat a variety of other foods, such as worms and small crustaceans, if its preferred sources are not readily available. Most zebrafish accept common food flakes and tubifex worms in the aquarium.
