Hey Folks,

I've been mainly feeding my fish (Electric Yellows) Life Science System Bio-Blend color enhancing fish food for a couple years as well as flkes and some other food in little amounts. When I went to try to get more I was told that it's not available anymore.

Does wnyone know of a substitute that is similar? This food came in a dispenser which you shook like a salt shaker to get the food out. What was really good about is when I went on vacation I would say to the person feeding my fish to give it 2 shakes only over the tank.

Thanks

tropigro and a few others have click dispensers now, I should imagine some have cichlid food.

Do you still have the jar? My only concern would be if it contained hormones of any sort, as taking fish off those cold turkey can be bad news. I believe hormone foods have been banned in the US for some time now though, so you should be right

Look for something with Astaxanthin and/or Spirulina for colour enhancing

New Life Spectrum is amazing food, as is the food you can get online at [link=Aquaricare]http://www.aquaricare.org" style="COLOR: #FFFF00[/link]

Don't be fooled by the no nonsense packaging, this food is the bomb. It's cheap, local (for me) and your fish will go nuts and be as vibrantly coloured as your old stuff. Guaranteed.

Ditto what Fallout said about New Life Spectrum. My fish love it, and have thrived on it.

Thanks for the adive, I'll try it & see how my fish like. I still have a little of the old stuff left, so they won't have to go cold turkey.
