I need a fish nutrition EXPERT!

Fish Meal, fish oil, gelatin, krill meal, spirulina algae meal, betain,
L-ascorbyl-2 polyphosphate (vitamin C), xanthan gum, choline bitartrate,
pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione dimethylpyprimidinol bisulfite (vitamin K),
astaxanthin, biotin, calcium pantothenate, canthazanthin, inositol,
cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), d-alpha tocopheryl acetate (natural source vitamin
E), thiamin mononitrate, nicotinic acid, folic acid, beta carotene, vitamin A
acetate, riboflavin, ethoxyquin (a preservative), zinc oxide, vitamin B12
supplement, manganous oxide, ferrous carbonate, copper sulfate, zinc sulfate,
calcium iodate, calcium carbonate, cobalt carbonate.


How does this stack up to the Mazuri?
 
"The digestibility values of nutrients in feed ingredients
and diets are not yet established in ornamental species.Availability
of these values would not only result in least cost diet
formulation for ornamental species, but would also be a
valuable tool in reducing pollution of the living environment.
Furthermore, research on influence of nutrition on ornamental
fish is hampered by a lack of suitable measurement
other than growth. Whereas the measurement of skin colour
is possible through well-established subjective and objective
techniques, this would evaluate the influence of only carotenoids
as dietary component."

That is from that above link and is more or less what I was referring to when I said I believed there was a lack of specific research. It is a good read and recommend it. It does basically lump our aquarium fish keeping nutritional issues into the "we feed as best we can based on what we know on grow-out rates of other fish we do know about and try to round out the diets to fit for the different digestive tracts we have to try to satisfy."

Its word for word the same.

Did you ever feed any of it, and if so did your fish seem to like it?

Take a look at the pdf I mention above. It is exactly the same. I think this stuff is just repackaged mazuri gel, and if it is I am not trying to take business from whoever but you can get it directly from Mazuri very cheaply.
 
thankyou very much for the break in this case.....SO maybe the guy did truthfully develope the gel, but for mazuri, and there basically selling it for quadruple or more the price. I really got doinked buying this, but atleast I researched before I bought more! haha
