Dmaan. Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 im 100% with you Neil. Comparing growth rate and the coloration of nls and Hikari, I've yielded better results on nls. My fish have superior everything. Dmaan and I grew up a midas from the same batch and his grew up mostly solo in a tank while mine grew up in a large community. His fish was longer than mine but mine was much heavier and thicker bodied. Other foods may offer the best results but nls has yielded the best for me so far. guy,... many of us have seen your fish ... If your fish are a good example of what nls can do.. ill stick to trout chow.. haha that's intense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your fish have mad growth off of that food I noticed, I wouldn't mind trying some on my bass, he's thickened out but won't eat NLS.

DiscusKeeper403 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) I made the switch to NLS pellets for my oscars because lots of people tell me nls is the best pellet out there. I compared it to hikari cichlid gold. hikari has more protein more vitamins and less fat then NLS. Also when I feed NLS, half of the pellet comes out of there gills or maybe more then half. And because of this my nitrates spike after feeding NLS. Hikari has lots of fresh ingredients too. So what makes NLS the best pellet on the market? or is it just a matter of opinion? IMO NLS is overrated... Not saying it's a bad brand or anything because it is superior to quite a few out there.

abc123 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 The feeding of any pet shouldn't be based on price alone. If it gets to the point that feeding them a healthy diet becomes too cost prohibitive then it might be time to cut down on the herd. I think that williewonka hit the nail on the head. All of us here are supposed to be lovers of aquatic pets and IMO that means providing them the best environment and care that we can. Isn't it better to have let's say 5 fish thriving on highly rated food than 20 fish getting by on so-so food. It's like comparing a meal of a quality cut of meat, fresh veggies and wild rice to a meal of SPAM and Minute Rice. Which would you choose?
