The impact of aquatic feed pollution on ornamental fish is a multifaceted issue that includes nutritional deficiencies, susceptibility to disease, and environmental degradation. Ornamental fish such as goldfish and guppy are sensitive to the quality of their food and the resulting water conditions in which they are kept. The quality of fish food is vital not only for the growth and development of fish, but also for the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. Contaminants in fish feed can pose significant health risks to fish, which can subsequently affect human health through the food chain. The formulation of fish feed plays an important role in maintaining the health of these species, because an inappropriate diet can lead to an increase in waste production, which in turn worsens water quality. and the safety of fish feed. Another important point is water health and hygiene because water pollution poses significant threats to ornamental fish and affects their health, growth and overall well-being. Water quality in aquariums is very important for the survival of ornamental fish species, because it directly affects their physiological and behavioral responses. Factors such as temperature, pH, turbidity and the presence of pathogens are critical parameters that must be effectively monitored and managed to ensure the health of these aquatic organisms. This paper synthesizes current research on ornamental fish feed contamination, also highlights the sources, types of contaminants and their effects on fish health and aquaculture sustainability, as well as the existing literature to examine the consequences of feed contamination on fish health, focusing on types Incorporates pollutants, their sources and biological effects on fish. Various studies have shown that the nutritional composition of the feed, including protein levels, types of ingredients and the presence of live foods, plays an essential role in the health and growth of these fish species. High-quality feed not only promotes better growth rates, but also increases survival rates, which is essential for sustainable ornamental fish farming.
