How scoring changes by life stage

We score foods against macro ranges for your fish's diet group. Life stage adjusts those ranges:

  • Fry: higher protein and energy needs, lower tolerance for high fibre
  • Juvenile: higher protein and slightly higher fat than adults
  • Adult: balanced staple ranges for everyday feeding
  • Conditioning: higher-fat ranges for breeding prep and recovery
