This characteristic of food is especially important in case of bottom feeders. Smell can be
detected by the specific anatomical receptors in fish, but flavor has to be dissolved in
water for the fish to locate it. Some fish have receptors in their mouths, or on the head or
lips. Some even have taste receptors on their skin. These receptors carry messages to the
brain and tell the fish to swim towards the food. Some kinds of food can strongly
stimulate fish to feed by their flavor, but these stimuli need not be the same as in humans.
Therefore, desist from giving your fish sweet and fatty food.
