“Almost Natural Tropical Fish Food” stands out from many other tropical fish foods by not including large amounts of filler ingredients; these are substances used to hold all the other ingredients together.
This fish food features natural immune stimulant BETA-1.3/1.6-GLUCAN and stabilised vitamin C as natural immune boosters, while providing digestion support through cellulose, chitin and lecithin for improved digestion and constipation prevention. Carotenoids and astaxanthin enhance colors while Zeolite supports healthy digestive function while aiding the release of toxins.

Ingredients
Natural tropical fish food should only contain ingredients that are appropriate for aquatic organisms, like wheat. As fish have no adaptations for digesting this type of plant matter, any products listed as first ingredient may pass right through them without being taken up by them.
Tropical Welsi Gran is a high-protein, multi-ingredient sinking granulated food designed to meet the dietary needs of aquatic fish that feed near the bottom. Through proprietary processes, its granules soften rapidly so that fish can consume them. Plus, its composition includes BETA-1.3/1.6 GLUCAN as a natural immune stimulator and stabilized vitamin C to enhance fish defence systems and provide natural carotenoids which enhance color intensification!
Tropical Caridina is an all-in-one, daily food designed for both omnivorous and carnivorous fish in freshwater and marine tanks. Packed with kelp algae, spirulina and Ketapang leaves which regulate digestion processes, this formula also features natural carotenoids, garlic extract and ProCare from TetraMin for added health benefits.
Crude Protein
Crude protein is an indicator of food’s nitrogen content and may come from animal proteins or non-protein materials like grains or plants. Crude protein is essential in fish diets for healthy development.
This food is tailored for larger cichlids from Lake Tanganyika (genera Altolamprologus, Julidochromis and Lamprologus) that require high levels of nutrients and protein. The multi-ingredient wafers contain sword prawn, mulberry leaves and seaweed for optimal nutrition – without preservatives or dyes! This food also doesn’t include preservatives or dyes.
This granule food boasts an impressive list of ingredients designed to bring out the natural colors in freshwater tropical fish. The flakes are easy to digest and won’t discolor water, helping reduce additional aquarium cleaning needs. Furthermore, they contain essential vitamins and minerals, omega-3 fatty acids as well as other important components which support immunity against disease.
Energy Levels
Fish consume sugars and carbohydrates first (please refer to Carbs for further reading below), before moving onto fats as energy sources. Fish can’t store fats so must use them quickly to provide energy.
An animal food that uses quality ingredients and is well marketed, but has inadequate analysis of fat and energy levels will pose long-term issues. New Life Spectrum’s ingredients may be good, but their 4% fiber content falls far short of optimal energy optimization levels and reduce disease resistance over time – this means using better analysis when choosing premium fish food!
Crude Fats
Instead of animal proteins, tropical fish food ingredients consisting largely of plant fats provide more natural, healthier diet and reduce water pollution. Furthermore, fats provide energy to sustain fish life.
Sera Vipan Nature series of flakes provides an example of such food without dyes or preservatives; these high-quality food items contain insect meal from Hermetia illucens (black fly larvae) as an important source of protein, as well as highly digestible plant fats which provide Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids and vitamin C as additional health-promoting elements. They even come with patent health-enhancing probiotics and prebiotics!
Product Features Salmon Skin Packed With Beta Carotene This natural pigment offers great color enhancement potential while simultaneously strengthening immunity systems in fish.
Vitamins
Supplementing protein consumption, vitamins and minerals play an essential role in fish health. They aid in tissue development and repair, increase resistance against disease and stimulate growth and development. Vitamin supplementation also enhances coloration while strengthening immunity system functioning.
Tropical Flower Horn Young Pellet is an all-in-one food designed to feed young flowerhorn cichlids and other large species of cichlids daily, in floating pellet form. Packed full of easily digested proteins as well as unsaturated fatty acids and natural carotenoids which boost color enhancement, this formula ensures optimal fish health and color intensity.
