Aquarian fish food and water care
Aquarian is a long-running UK brand covering everyday aquarium staples, from goldfish and tropical fish food through to basic water care products. We stock a small selection from the range, covering fish food for both goldfish and tropical tanks alongside a tap water conditioner.
Who Aquarian are
Aquarian sits at the accessible, everyday end of the fishkeeping market, positioned as a familiar, straightforward brand rather than a specialist boutique range. It's the kind of brand many fishkeepers will recognise from supermarket and pet shop shelves alike, having been around long enough to become a default choice for a lot of first-time tank owners.
That everyday positioning suits owners who want a reliable, no-fuss staple food and basic water care products rather than a highly specialised diet for a demanding species, which is exactly where most goldfish and community tropical tanks sit, at least until an owner develops a more specific interest in a particular type of fish.
What we stock
Our range currently includes Aquarian's goldfish food and tropical fish food, covering two of the most common types of home aquarium, alongside their Tap Water Safe conditioner, which treats tap water to remove chlorine and chloramine before it goes anywhere near a tank.
That water conditioner matters more than it might sound: adding untreated tap water directly to an aquarium can harm fish, so a product like this is a genuinely basic but important part of routine water changes rather than an optional extra, and it's worth keeping a bottle in whether you're setting up a new tank or maintaining an existing one.
Choosing between the two food types
Goldfish and tropical fish have different feeding needs, which is part of why Aquarian, like most brands, splits its everyday range this way rather than offering one all-purpose flake. Goldfish food tends to suit the slower, more grazing feeding style of coldwater fish, while tropical formulas are built with the different metabolism of warmer-water community species in mind.
Checking which type of tank you actually have before choosing a food avoids a mismatch that, while not usually dangerous in the short term, doesn't serve your fish as well as picking the version genuinely built for them and their particular feeding style.

Common questions
- Is Aquarian food suitable for all fish?
- No, different products in the range are formulated for different fish, such as goldfish or tropical species, so it's worth checking which one matches your tank rather than assuming any Aquarian food will do.
- What does Aquarian Tap Water Safe do?
- It's a water conditioner that treats tap water to remove chlorine and chloramine, making it safer to add to an aquarium. This is a standard step before any water change, not just for new tank set-ups.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the full Aquarian range?
- No, we stock a selection rather than the whole range, reflecting what's currently available to order. What's shown in the grid can change over time, so it's worth checking back later if a specific product isn't listed today.
- Is Aquarian a budget or premium fish food brand?
- It sits at the accessible, everyday end of the market rather than a specialist premium range, which suits most goldfish and community tropical tanks without needing anything more specialised.
