  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
tempted to buy some of that stuff now, i wonder if it will work on other fish, flowerhorn ect?
 
maybe but in my community i could end up with a tank of red fish lol!
 
anyone tryed this??
 
its ASTAXANTHIN btw, spelt wrong at the beginning..,. may buy some
 
Most commercial fish foods contain various forms of astaxanthin, some natural such as the microalgae Haematococcus pluvalis, some use synthetic forms such as carophyll pink/red. If you are feeding a quality commercial fish food adding additional astaxanthin to that diet will be a waste of money, and could cause some of ones fish to become an unnatural coloration, such as turning a fish that is naturally yellow, to orange. When using elevated levels of synthetic forms such as carophyll pink/red, there could be additional long term health risks.

Approx 10 years ago I ran experiments using elevated levels of astaxanthin (Haematococcus pluvalis) from one of the largest suppliers in the US (Cyanotech corp) against the NLS brand, and I found no difference among the test subjects. If one is simply feeding a homemade food as a staple then it would be a good addition to the mix, otherwise IME a waste of money.
 
so maybe these oscars are dyed light the parrots...
