nadalia Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hello! I'm just wondering if anyone supplements their livestock feed with chlorella or spirulina. I'm also curious about any noticeable differences when feeding live foods as opposed to frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Some of the commercial dry fish foods on the market contain chlorella and/or spirulina, which I personally believe is a good thing, even for fish classified as carnivorous.

Iceturf Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) High High Protein content from what I understand. I have a spirulina mix in a flake food I ordered in. The fish seem to go for it a lot - I only feed it sparsely with more cheap food. Edited February 12, 2015 by Iceturf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 While both substances are a good source of plant protein, where they really shine is in their content of vitamins, minerals, and natural immunostimulants and antioxidant pigments. (carotenoids) They also both contain natural growth factors, that science is still exploring with regards to enhancing the growth of fry/fingerlings.
