The great NLS foods

[Robert Fling]

I've just ordered some NLS for my haps and peacocks and there are just so many different kinds. I wanted to get the 2mm because the 1 mm looks a little small. anyways I got the new life spectrum medium fish formula. after purchasing a found "thera A" and multiple other types. what would you choose if you were buying?

Personally for me it would depend on the need such as raising fry, for color, and health. I buy various sized pellets due to having various sized fish

Depends on the size of your fish, Big fish will eat small pellets. I have a 10 inch fossochromis rosturus that eats 1 mm pellets that Ifeeds the 3 inch fish in the tank but I put 2 inch pellet in ther for him. Check out their website and it even states what size pellet for which size fish.

Yep, choose the pellet size to match the size of the fish. Most adult peacocks would do well on any of the 1 or 2mm NLS pellets. Haps same, but for larger haps I would personally feed the 3mm. Large fish can always eat smaller pellets, but larger pellets for smaller fish typically ends up with a lot of wasted particulates in the water and your filters. (from chewing)

NLS' Thera+ would be excellent for your situation I think. Never hurts to have a food that helps prevent disease in fish

I feed the Ther+A occasionally and the rest of time I just feed the All-Purpose formula mixed with AlgaeMax. While I feed both the 1mm and the 3mm pellets, my 12" fish goes after and eats the 1mm without hesitation. With your stock, I would stick to 1mm, but 2mm shouldn't be an issue
