We offer many flavors to handle and type of aquarium fish and we have them in several sizes to fit your budget and feeding schedule. Now for the best part. Our bulk food is so good, and we ar so confident your fish will eat it that we have been offering a buy back guarantee for years, and have never bought back a single pellet, stick or flake.

In our store, you will find ingredients and analysis listed with each flavor. We offer bits, pellets, sticks and flake foods for all types of fish. You should always have a wide variety of foods available for a balanced diet. Specialty foods are not for "everyday" use, but as aids after fish are sick, or before shows to help with color.

OUR FOOD WILL NOT CLOUD YOUR TANK! When trying new food, you should always start out with a small portion to see if it contains fillers that cloud your tank, but you don't have to worry with ours.

Flake Food - is possibly the most common type of fish food available. It comes in many colors and even sizes that provide a wide range of nutrition to all aquatic fish.

Flake food is easy to store and shelf and can even be kept in the freezer for long term storage although most of the moisture content is gone and does not require it. Flake food is a main staple for most fish and should always be available in any fish room. Flake food is mostly for surface and community fish and is the easiest to overfeed. Flake food can be easily crumbled for small mouths and will stay in the water column for mid swimmers. Flake food also comes in many specialty diets to aid with sick fish, vegetarians and even to help promote color before shows. The flake food offered by Baylees is of the highest quality and is made without any preservatives and contains natural ingredients.

Pellet Food - has the highest nutritional value of dry foods and can be kept for long periods of time. It has a much higher moisture content than flake and should be kept in proper containers or frozen for longer storage between use. Pellet foods are mostly for fish with healthier appetites and larger mouths however, smaller grains are available all the way down to a powder for raising newly hatched fry. Pellets can both sink and float, but typically the larger pellets will float unless they have the opportunity to soak first as they are usually filled with some air. This allows for active surface feeders to attack the food before it hits the bottom and you should pay attention to bottom feeders and weaker fish to make sure they are getting fed. AIR DOES NOT CAUSE BLOAT, WATER QUALITY DOES. Pellet foods are easier to control with feeding as to not over feed and can be a great inexpensive alternative to live foods to give your fish a balanced diet of nutrition not found in all foods. The pellet food offered by Baylees is of the highest quality and for a sinking pellet stay 1mm- 1.5mm or smaller.

Sticks - are the perfect answer to bottom feeders, however all fish will attack them while sinking to the bottom. Sticks are typically flake food that is extruded and will soften on the bottom for easier feeding. All sticks should sink to the bottom and are available in many nutritional varieties from veggie, brine shrimp, tropical to the ever famous earthworm which is made with REAL EARTHWORMS. Guppies will attack the earthworm sticks and the plecos and catfish will finish them off! Sticks add to your balanced diet as you can now feed all fish in your tank. Sticks are typically about 3mm in diameter and about 1/2 inch in length and can be broken in half or simply left alone as they will separate once they find the bottom. THEY WILL NOT CLOUD YOUR TANK!

Wafers - are another food that sinks that is more along the lines of a flattened pellet. Unlike sticks that will separate, wafer will stay solid much longer. Wafers are flat and allow for easy feeding for all of your bottom feeders like plecos and catfish. The most common wafer is the algae wafer with is specifically designed with plecos in mind. To give them a perfect balanced diet with the nutrition they need to grow and breed. Wafer are about 15mm round and 1mm thick or slightly smaller than a dime. Make sure to have some of these on hand if you really love your plecos!!
