An avid tropical fish hobbyist grew tired of the usual commercial foods. She created this very high quality diet featuring excellent protein and fat levels by dry weight.
Extruded multi-particle size product featuring 32% protein for fish of different species and sizes. Works naturally in conjunction with daily food sources in your aquarium to address poor nutrition – the primary impediment to healthy growth and recovery in fish populations.
Contents
Protein
Goldfish foods often contain too much grain and vegetable matter for tropical species; since these food items are designed for both carnivorous and omnivorous varieties. If the ingredients include “goldfish” or “color enhancing,” and also specify protein levels.
Book references I reviewed regarding tropical fish nutrition often recommended that food for tropical fish be high in protein while low in fat and fiber; hence why most food items featuring “fish meal” as one of their key ingredients.
Catfish Chow SR is a complete and balanced 32% protein extruded multi-particle size product designed to feed various species and sizes of fish species in your water environment. Working naturally alongside existing food sources in your environment, Catfish Chow SR helps address poor nutrition as an obstacle in forage fish reproduction.
Fat
Most tropical fish food contains some type of fat, often in the form of lard or pogie oil, to provide energy-rich energy sources to digest their food. Fishermen may use Pogie oil to make chum for use when fishing; large 50-pound bags can be purchased at most feed stores. Anglers also often combine Purina tropical fish food powder with menhaden or Pogie oil when creating homemade chum, offering many combinations to choose from when casting lures into the water.
Reading ingredient labels is the key to choosing an aquarium food product best suited for your aquarium. Goldfish food, for instance, typically contains more grains and vegetables than needed to meet tropical fish nutrition needs.
Fiber
Many anglers have long relied on Purina fish food powder mixed with Menhaden or Pogie oil as a chum for fishing trips, in order to attract other fish into an area and help catch larger and healthier specimens. Purina’s protein-rich formula acts as bait that attracts other species while simultaneously helping catch larger ones.
This product is a quality food that is aggressively promoted among popular fish keeping circles. Unfortunately, while its ingredients and palatability are excellent, its energy optimization and fiber content analysis fail. Feeding too high an energy intake to fish can increase oxidative stress which reduces longevity and disease resistance over time – particularly due to low fiber levels in this product.
Vitamins
Tropical Fish food designed for easy digestion contains vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients essential to their healthy development. With high levels of fish meal and oil for rapid growth and reduced waste. Also featuring stabilized vitamin C and selenite which will improve food utilization while improving colors in your tank inhabitants. It offers complete and balanced nutrition to all tropical fish species while creating cleaner water than ordinary foods can.
Minerals
Florida (as well as some other states) tropical fish breeders feed their fry with a mixture of dry tropical fish food powder combined with Menhaden or Pogie oil, then toss this blend into the sea where Snook and Redfish are feeding on it. Some fishermen in saltwater fishing use this mix as bait; it can even be purchased for use as chum at commercial fish stores but is unavailable to hobbyists.
Sinking Ration Fish Feed is designed with high levels of protein, fat, and nutrients to promote rapid growth while minimising waste. Easily digestible ingredients include natural pigments as well as stabilized vitamins and minerals such as calcium phosphorous selenite and L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate source of Vitamin C – providing your aquatic friends with essential nutrition at all stages.
