New Life Spectrum super red formula

The ultra red formula has been around for over 2 yrs. It simply contains a higher level of astaxanthin than the other formulas. The Ick Sheild is exciting for reefers, as it contains Chloroquine as the active ingredient. (at the proper dosage rate to treat marine ich) Hex Shield contains a combination of Metronidazole, and Epsom Salt, both which are tried & true methods of curing spironucleus aka hexamita in fish. If ones fish are still eating, these two new foods will be the shizznit for treating, as no need to measure, presoak, or anything else.

But your fish would already need to be on NLS or a fish that will eat anything. A weakened fish with a poor appetite is unlikely to accept it otherwise. I have given up on getting some of my fish to accept it.

Ya, well, there's the rub. Some people can train fish, and some can't.

The reality is these types of food are a perfect solution for new fish, that should be in a QT tank for 30 days or more. Not many marine keepers simply toss a new fish into their system without a proper qt period, and this is the optimum time to be feeding medicated feed, before the stress of the big tank and new tankmates comes into play, and before the fish are sick. And even sick fish will sometimes eat a little bit, and even if they don't a soft mash of pellets & water can be force fed to a fish.

And the reality is, most freshwater & saltwater species can be trained to eat NLS. Some are more difficult than others, I will admit that, but if Achilles Tang & Moorish Idol can be trained to eat it then most people shouldn't have too many issues training freshwater fish.


New Life is also now selling a Chloroquine based bath powder for treating fish that aren't eating.

Two tanks filled with a couple of the most difficult fish to feed in captivity. These are wild fish known to be extremely difficult to pellet train, and keep for any length of time in captivity. Probably the only tank in existence that you will ever see with that many Achilles Tang, or Moorish Idol.

So for those that can't train their Jag or JD to eat it this food, well ........
