Not really, if we copied then we had soya meal, algae meals oranges and bananas.

95% of NF ingredients are sourced righ here in our backyard. No one have any immunity for the use of ingredients, they are available and everyone is free to use.

Right, like you said - you copied it and then tweaked it a bit. Wake up a bit.
 
Agreed. I have learned a bunch about foods in general.

RD, do you own, or work for NLS? You defend / promote it like it is your child to the point of mild aggression.

I was kind of wondering this too.
 
Herring or sardine? Big deal. You're really rewriting the book there.

Organic kelp? Fancy. Natural spirulina? As opposed to unnatural spirulina? Both of these are found in NLS, again, not doing anything different, if you want to deny it then fine with me. Also kelp has been featured in omega one for years. And clay we already talked about. Astaxanthin? You feel the need to supplement it in a krill rich pellet that already naturally contains it, fine with me.

But please point out where you're rewriting the book here... You're standing on the shoulders of other fish food companies and bashing them when I seriously doubt that you would have come up with your formula without them.

All facts about food aside, as I'm sure both formulas will give your fish above average nutrition, I'd expect a bit more professionalism from the owner of a fish food manufacturer. I mean, in my eyes if a ceo or other high position is willing to post at a public level, (which I've never seen before), is a rare and special thing because you never see direct contact between customer and the shot caller, but the poor professionalism and even writing skills is definitely a turnoff for customers, just for your information.

Couldn't agree more. I actually sent Northfin an email inquiring about getting some in Florida.

No response there and very hard to follow here.

You know what they say about first impressions.

Thank you for your feedback, as far as I know I never verbally attacked anyone or made any product look bad or even have any intention. One thing that I will not take is brainwashing and if needed i will always step in to put facts on the table. After being in this industry for the past 25 years i know exactly how is done and what it takes, no surprises for me, I was running food extruders way before most of private labels existed.

I'm posting on the forums for the past 20 years higher or lower position makes no difference. I'm also a advanced hobbyist with advanced MTS.

Been there done that, no point of hiding behind anyone back.

Cheers

I never said you verbally attacked any one, I stated that your unprofessional attitude and poor communication skills are a turn off. Not something you want when your challenging a food many of us have been very satisfied with and have seen excellent results from.

Not challenging and not promoting anything here just to be clear. And how my poor communication have any effect on creating manufacturing fish food? English is my language #4 but that dos not defect or second the product we make. No one is pouring NF down your throat. If you chose the product by the sweet talk from the salesman then is fine. Personally I look at the product not what the salesman have to say or promotional brainwash. You should read previous RD post and tell me that's how so called professional have to talk? everything that's not by him is idiotic, pathetic and so on. This is why he had to go out of wholesale business because even stores in his home town refused to stock N and got tired of his BS.

aclockworkorange, you can think anything that makes you feel better, and don't forget the soya meal that's getting pullet from N right after NF hit the market. Things like that don't come out of the blue and everyone wants to be on top of the game. Inventing means when you do yourself and not ask someone else to formulate and make the product for you.

As for RD there are not secrets that he is associated with N. He started selling N out of his basement on the Canadian forums then moved on to distribution/wholesale. Unfortunately closing down not long ego.
He performing better on the forums and I can admit that he is good. He is still promoting and there is no doubt he have a deal with N


What is funny about him and me that we had some encounter about 5-6 years well before anything started and N became so popular.

Js1119, My apologies that you did not got any reply. We are getting daily calls/emails from US regarding distribution/samples club sponsoring and so on and we try to answer all of them when we can. The food is not available in US yet but the distribution already in place. when it happens announcement will be made and everyone will be able to try. You can also order online from Canada everyone that wanted to try already feeding there fish NF.

Cheers
 
No, I do not own, nor have I ever worked for New Life. I do happen to know a thing or two about their product line as I was the first distributor of their food in Canada (now retired) and my specialty is in fish nutrition in general.


Also for the record I am neither a drug user, nor a baby, but I do cry from time to time.



As for the rest of the BS being posted by NFC, it is just that, BS. Add to that the so called "deal" that in his vivid imagination I have with New Life. I don't have any type of deal, I'm simply continuing to endorse what I have been for many years, long before I knew who Pablo Tepoot was, and long before I had a vested interest in his products.

I'm good, Darius, because I know what I'm talking about, and can always back up my opinion with facts and real world data. In fact, other than taking a poke at your use of clay for so called mineral supplementation, I really haven't had anything overly negative to say about your products - until you and your close friend pingpongo showed up on every thread here that mentioned Northfin, and began talking out of your arses about NLS. You just couldn't let it go, and apparently still can't.

With regards to professionalism, the difference between you and I, Darius, is that I am not the owner of New Life, nor do I , nor have I ever, worked for them. You on the other hand are the owner of the company! When I was distributing their product line (NLS) here in Canada I worked for myself, just as you did when you were selling NLS out of your basement, and quite frankly I couldn't give a flying F what anyone on a fish forum personally thinks of me, or what I have to say, or how I say it. I didn't then, and I still don't now. I don't personally go out of my way to be a prick (ok, maybe on special occasions), but I don't pull any punches either. And yes, I do think that for the owner of a fairly new company to act the way you have on a public forum is idiotic, and then some.

Your sole purpose for joining MFK was to promote your products in a positive light, and at the same time take a shot at NLS, which is all you have done since joining this forum. You've done nothing else! This thread is a perfect example, it had nothing to do with anything involving you, or your product line, but you sniffed it out seaching for Northfin. Pretty obvious. Then off you go, on your mini tirade about how no one knows how Northfin is made, but everyone knows how NLS is made. Blah-blah-blah. Whatever ......

This is why he had to go out of wholesale business because even stores in his home town refused to stock N and got tired of his BS.

And if acting like an idiot wasn't bad enough, you can't even get your idiotic fairy tale facts straight. I retired due to a rather serious heart attack, and other medical conditions that no longer allow me to put in the physical work, and hours that I had been. What can I say, getting old is the sheets.

I have two pet stores in my home town, and both are chain stores. One store (Petland) bought from me for several yrs (and still carries NLS by the new local distributor) and funny enough don't carry any of your food, even though that same distributor now carries Northfin. Ooops. The other store (Petsmart) has their own purchasing agents, their own distributors, and their own warehouse in AZ. They don't buy from local distributors, they buy in massive bulk directly from manufacturers, just as Petco does from New Life. There is one other very small store here, and when they had ca$h, I dealt with them as well. No problems with any of my vendors across Canada, and I supplied stores from coast to coast.


I learned along time ago that when people run out of intelligent things to say in a discussion such as this, they attempt to take things to a personal level.

And right on cue, I see your pal pingopongo just signed in.

And on that note, I'm done here. You boys have fun telling fairy tales.
 
Funny thing is I really didn't have any problem with the food either. Just with the owner now.

Tell ya what Darius, you want to make crap up about Neil (after he had a heart attack), have fun. The fish world is very small and don't be surprised if you see some of us at conventions...

The free food you sent my buddy to promote for you, that he decided he didn't want to use and then switched to another food, he offered me a bunch for free. I won't even feed that crap to my plants as fertilizer at this point.

Nothing about your food is special, but you certainly are.

What's really funny, is what started out as a heads up about a price increase via less in the bucket turned into an argument including name calling and lots of mob mentality aggressive behaviour. I think I will stay with Xtreme. So far the people that tout it act like grown ups.

I agree and personally think the thread has run its course. I would however love to see a sticky on the current pellet offerings in a pro/con fashion. I personally don't have enough experience with pellets to make such a thing but I think there are others on here who can.
