I don't feed exclusively but if I had to use just one food NLS would be it hands down. It is the best IMO.
Making the switch to NLS.
- Thread starter nfored
- Start date
the only down side I can think of that the garlic in the Ther A+ makes inside my stand stink of garlic because my sump isn't a sealed unit but that is easily remedied.
I switched to NLS for my oscar awhile back and now I won't use anything else. I wasn't really expecting to see a dramatic difference, the peace of mind knowing I was feeding a quality food was enough for me. I thought I noticed a slight improvement in appearance, but the change was so gradual it never really hit me until I looked back at some old pics. The difference is phenomenal. Here are the before and after pics:

Wow! That is a night and day difference. Its almost as if they are totally different fish.
i'd love to use NLS but my arowanas refuse to eat it, even in i starve them for a couple days they'll eat one or just spit it out and mine are not picky at all i feed them everything from aro sticks to mp to super worms and stuff in between and they love it all which make me wonder why not nls...?

That's truely amazing. the NLS changed so gradually the entire tank went from fresh to salt!
mareshow ....... Asian aros can be pretty picky when it comes to pellets, primarly those pellets that have a low inclusion rate of starch, hence they don't tend to soften up quickly once in the water. New Life simply refuses to use ingredients such as corn flakes, alpha starch, or rice bran in their food, such as what is found in your aro sticks.
I believe that you have seen Shine Aquatics aros, some will eat NLS, some won't, and even those that do will only eat so many. This is pretty much standard with every shipment that he imports. With his large adults Bret used to stuff the pellets into his MP and/or fish, and feed them that way.
Good one, Bob.

Hi RD. How's life in the world of New Life Spectrum? Hope you're doing well, good to see you coming around MFK.
Hey, I have a question. Did NLS change their recipe? For an example I'll use krill, the label used to simply list "krill" whereas now it says "KRILL MEAL".
