New Life Spectrum (NLS) pellets for bichir

[tlindsey]

Now I’m glad that I asked this question here before buying. I was actually leaning more on the medium size before but now I guess Large/Jumbo should be the one I should get. Omega One was one of the other brands that I was considering before deciding to try NLS Thera A. Probably gonna put it in my wishlist for the next time I’m stocking up their food or I could just buy both and try both out lol. Thanks for the reply !

Do you happen to know the size for the Jumbo ones ? Is it a big leap over the Large ones ?

Interestingly enough all my bichirs like to eat from the surface. I feed fluval bug bites cichlid formula pellets specifically for my wood catfish and my sens and dels go nuts over them too. They would swim to the top to take them and then slowly sink down to the bottom while chewing the pellets lol. Such a sight to see.

My Senegal are the only polys I have that will eat from the surface lol. My larger ones eat from the bottom.

I feed the thera

I’m planning to switch to New Life Spectrum Thera A to feed several of my 5-6” upper jaw bichirs. Right now I’m feeding them Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets and the pellet size is just perfect for them. Since I’m planning to purchase online, and didn’t want to make the mistake of getting a pellet that is too small or too big for them, which NLS Thera A pellet size should I get ?

For NLS Thera A+garlic "large"(3mm-3.5mm) is what I use for my 6-10" upper jaws. The pellets are pretty tiny, but my shy eaters and my voracious eaters love them. Do NOT get the floating ones by accident I also feed Hikari Carnivore Pellets. And often feed them both the NLS and the Carnivore at the same time! The NLS is harder so I try to put those in the tank first. My fish will eat the Hikari Gold, but prefer both the NLS and Carnivore better. I will attach a size comparison picture in a later post.

Have you checked out NLS Probiotix? its based off the Thera A formula. I have smaller fish (Malawis) and feed it along side Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold.
