its good to have all that information on hand but if you think about it an adult human vit. has way more then a childs but that dosent make it a good idea to give your kinds the adult ones if that makes any sense

This does make sense....
Why is it that the more vitamins in the above foods, the better they are for your fish?
The detailed info about the individual vitamins states what is caused by a deficiency but what about too much?
We know that too much of certain vitamins and minerals can cause problems in humans, what about in fish?
I wouldn't take the vitamin levels in a food as the true reflection of its "goodness". Think of it this way, Wonder white bread is "enriched" with everything but it is still crap....

I think Fish Palace had NLS when I was in there, but I didn't need anything at the time. I think that's what they had. Still might be cheaper even w/ shipping from BigAl's, though.

nls pellets are more than hikari and dont even compare.... i fed nls and switched to hikari long before i had any knowledge of the ingrediants
I made a futile attempt to find the vitamin composition of the raw foods that I feed. It was 3 AM...so I was largely ineffective. But I feed a mixed diet of Hikari Gold, a knock-off brand flake, frozen blood worms, market shrimp, liver, salmon, and veggies. Just wondering how that would stack up against some of the things listed....
how about someone do a test? get a few fish and put them in seperate tanks. feed them different foods and see what happens.

how does NLS not compare to Hikari? NLS uses actual whole fish, shrimp, etc. whereas Hikari uses fish meal, yeast, and flour. Hikari does have a higher protein content.
