FISHLIPS Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I picked up my 5lb bucket of NLS from geleen today and I plan on taking pics of my fish now and compare them in a month or so to compare color. thanks again geleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 i definitely noticed a difference when i switched from flakes from the lfs to nls. Won't feed anything else to any of my fish now. They are more active and colorful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 There will most likely be a significant improvement in color and breeding activity. But the quality of the food is only part of the equation - water quality, proper environments, genetics, etc are also important for maximum color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Like Jorg said, there are a ton of variables. Even going from flake to pellets may improve water quality in itself. Good foods do help. I am an advocate of NLS plus other foods for nutritional variety. Kind of like "Total cereal has 100% of what I need, in theroy, but I still eat a varied diet anyways" Neat experiment though. I tried it with rainbowfish just for shits and giggles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo3l Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 where is a good place to get larger quantities of Nls? such as your 5 lb bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I have heard Aquarium Central. Keep in mind as soon as you open it it starts to degrade, so unless you can plow through it in a month or two, split the bucket or buy a smaller size. I think it's ok to freeze it as well to extend it's life a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 If you're on the Southside, Nature's Corner also carries pails at a great price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
