Why New Life Spectrum ?

[tcarswell]

Because everyone here recommended it highly I ordered it for my Africans and other cichlids. What is so special about this food ? Thanks guys I did my research but a lot of the ingredients I see in NLS are found in much cheaper foods. Just a friendly question please no flame war

I've only used it when I get it for free ::wink::

However from the marine aspect of the hobby, it is said to be formulated in such a way that specialist feeders (butterflyfish, large marine angels, and they advertise moorish idols but NO) can thrive on a 'standard' diet.

Like I just said though, do NOT put Moorish Idols in an advertisement for anything but dead Moorish Idols.

I know, sometimes I don't think when I'm thinking about thinking too much.

The only things we can really go on is the company hype and how the fish respond to it.In my big tank it is the only food that I've put in that every fish in there tries to get plenty of,other foods I've used just dont get this kind of response.Theses companies can put whatever they want on their labels because I dont think any FDA type organizations hold them to their claims.

I bought two kinds of NLS, the Jumbo and the Exrta Large, my dovi still prefer Cichlid Gold.

Not impressed

Then again, if the FDA says something is safe and effective, that only means the corporation said it was safe and effective.

But you have to wonder, given the recent Melamine debacle...

The reason I don't buy it is it sin't big enough for my Oscars and such. Plus it crazy expensive, I'd rather buy Hikari or Kens.

NLS will kill ur afrians eventually. first ingredient is kril and thats loaded with amino acids. if fed as a staple daily your african WILL suffer from liver damage and die!
