kasman Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 After a trial of a small tub Im waiting on delivery for my first 1.8kg bucket thanks to techden I was very impressed with the small amount I had. It just looked, smelt and felt yummy being soft. I nearly tried some myself lol. AND for the fact it quotes ingredient amounts like astaxanthin - 50mg/kg - which is a very high content. Just wondering who else is a fan and how long have you been using it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleAle Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Been using it for months. I like how you can roll it in a ball for bigger fish & just sprinkle it for the smaller fish like silver$ but some of my fish won't touch it. I can't blame them cause personally, i think it smells (just a bit) like paint. You can eat it if you want kasman but you might get better results sniffing it dude. lol..

EXACTLY! its a bit like playdough eh, but srsly its been a selling point for me having a range of different sized fish. Not sure I remember it having an off smell like paint, but yeh interesting some of your fish wont take it. The sample I had I was feeding it to goldfish, americans, fh's, bettas and afircans all with no probs. Bit of an all round food like NLS I reckon. I know you like your NLs Paleale, and I nearly bought my first bulk container of it if it wasnt for the funky smell my tanks get when I use it and the way the waste from it seems to turn to silt and clog my sponge filters. Was a real pain in the arse when iv used it in the past. Had none of that with NEw Era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nini Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yeah, we bought a tub of plec pellets a few weeks ago .. The oscar goes CRAZY for it! He pounces on it before anything else gets a chance -- which is okay, because the silver dollars like the oscar food <.< guppies seem to like it while it's sinking, but I've learnt to distract them with flakes now so the peps actually get some xD haha.. I like that it's dividable, and doesn't just crumble when you break it -- and I'm actually able to break it with my weak fingers XD haha .. it's definitely become a must-have in our food cupboard We bought a second tub today.

PaleAle Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I still use NLS exclusively for my Africans, but mix it up a little for the Ams. I give them NLS, New Era & Hikari. I'm not sure why i do that actually, i just do. I don't use sponge filters so never had problems with them clogging up from using NLS, buuut, i believe people use too big of a pellet & the fish have to chew it, thus making a mess when it's supposed to be swallowed whole but that's JMO & yeah mate, i'll continue to use New Era. Good Stuff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I just won a tub on a Facebook group comp, and actually a sponsor of my Facebook page has sent me up a couple of trials for some more competitions I am going to hold in the next few months. Neither have arrived so I haven't tried it yet but I'm excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
