Hi everyone. I have a 180g with some 3-6" CA in it. I've been using Hikari for a few years but it seems that almost everyone on here uses NLS. Which product of NLS would you recommend for my fish at their current size? Thanks! :)
 
I know of several diehard Hikari users on here. But if you're switching to NLS, fish at that size, I would use a mixture of 1mm/2mm.

I would say that the 1mm is far too small. The 3mm sounds right but maybe the 2mm if that seems to big.
 
Who cares? feed your fish what you want to feed them most of the food companies use the same standard ingridients anyway, or just boast about their product with bull**** terminology.
I use Hikari and always have, never had a problem with it. I've never even heard of NLS. I have seen really beautiful fish both in person or online that have been fed crappy cheap foods or improper diets. the sad truth is if youre expecting changing food to make a massive difference then youre wrong.

"Oh look guys, since I started using NLS instead of Hikari my SYN now is coloured up and beautiful..." or maybe you just switched the foods at the time when the fish was already colouring up. seriously sometimes I question this sites usefulness.
 
The smallest might be either a V. Regani or GT, both around 3.5", tough to guess. Thanks for the replies everyone. I will go with the 2mm size that seems to be the rough consensus.
