Nandopsis Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I know...I know... you have all heard this before and i'am sure you thought ya i'am sure it is good food, but it can't be that good. My experiences are as follows: I was in Calgary last night and JSTR gave me some of his NLS cichlid formula. I thought i'll just supplement it with my some of my Omega-One flakes and shrimp pellets. Back ground info:*before NLS* My Nicaraguensis are have been starting to show color on their dorsal fins as of the last couple of weeks and have been somewhat healthy eaters, and alittle timid when i come near the tank. After trying NLS Now after just 2 feedings they are going nuts when ever i walk near them. Eating the pellets like gang busters AND The male has even started to show quite abit of coloration on his face. I repeat 2 feedings!... this is f'ing crazy! Thanks JSTR for giving me some of your NLS. RD: You can thank JSTR for converting me from Omega-One to a far superior food.*NLS* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I'll thank Paul when you place your first order, Jay. Seriously, there is no magical secret to NLS, it simply boils down to a unique mixture of the highest grade of raw ingredients that you will find in any commercial fish food. When marine species such as Rock Beauty & Moorish Idol can thrive on a single commercial food like NLS (for several years), you gotta know it's going to do wonders for fresh water fish. Pablo's goal was never to be the biggest, only to be the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandopsis Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Expect my order to be Cichlid pellets 1-mm *300G* and 3-mm *5-lbs* I might even try those H2O wafers also. All i have to do is wait to get some cash flow, and you have a new customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wandj Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) I'll add a little story. My Discus tank had some fussy fish. My Discus would only eat frozen food. I started mixing in the small Cichlid pellets...mostly for the benefit of my German Blue Rams. To my big surprise, one of the adult wild Tefe Greens went after it like crazy. And the 2 other smaller Discus like it too. I thought I'd never get those Discus off frozen. Pain in the butt to always feed frozen. But I see the most difference in my German Blue Rams. I swear they are showing better coloration. And they really like the food too...enough they splash partly out of the water when I drop it in. Oh, and I have only been feeding the NLS for about a week. I might have to look into getting a larger size of pellets. What does everyone think of the flake version?

dunl Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I repeat 2 feedings!... this is f'ing crazy! Yeah, Jay, but you're not supposed to mix your crystal meth in with it. Seriously, I hear you...my saltwater fish went crazy over it 5 minutes of being in my tank....no worries about any transition period.

Toirtis Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yep...seems like crack for fish....I have heard of a few people that actually had their fish jumping out of the water for the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc51 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I might even try those H2O wafers also. My Queen Arabesque won't eat anything else It is all I feed my plec's and they love it. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlkWolfe Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I forgot JSTR was holding some NLS marine for me too and picked up a small container of it elsewhere My regal angels love the stuff, even the cleaner wrasse was gobbling it up Ill be getting some sent when J does his order RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 and Neil is sitting back with a big grin on his face The stuff I find amazing is the fry pellet. My rainbow juveniles gobble it up and their colour and growth is much better than when they were on flake. Great stuff. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidkid Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) yea my mom's africans have been hooked on the stuff for about a month and whoo-wow the color difference is amazing. they are even growing faster and actimg more lively than they ever did. I just wish the cichlasoma pellets where bigger as most neo cichlosoama grow to be at least 6 inches. my midas has a reall hard time getting down the 1mm pellets before they are suspended throughout the tank in a big mess and she gives up, then I got little pellets laying all over the tank floor within minuts. anyway I think ill pick up some fry stuff for my festaes Edited December 30, 2005 by cichlidkid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golds have the sinking 3mm pellets in stock, and if those aren't large enough, I carry buckets of the 6mm sinking, and/or 4.5 mm floating. Edited December 30, 2005 by RD.

BlkWolfe Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Neil, does it come in a slightly larger marine pellet? ive got the tiny ones and they're a bit small for my purple tang and lunare wrasse to track down once they've sunk.

RD. Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 If the 1mm Marine is too small, then feed them the 3mm Large Fish formula, or a mix of both. That is exactly the mix that Pablo uses in his 2000 gallon tank shown below. Some of the fish in that tank are 7+ years old, and have been eating NLS exclusively for that entire period. No frozen, no fresh, just NLS. Here's what they look like when he throws a handful of pellets in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
