RD,
After reading your link on Krill Meal =>
http://www.aquafeed.com/article.php?id=439&sectionid=5
I almost feel like sitting down to some Krill & munch on it my self to an extent :ROFL:
Who knows it might be quite nice, if we could get it fresh :drool: It could perhaps give me some color & also bulk me up :naughty:

I have tried the NLS Cichlid formula 1mm, that has no GARLIC in it & was accepted immediately by all the fish I keep, even the ones that did not eat the NLS Thera+A 3mm with GARLIC earlier :headbang2

All NLS formulas contain garlic, the TherA formula simply contains a much larger inclusion rate.

RD,
Gee that was quick! Surely the TherA formula contains a much larger inclusion rate, the smell almost got me kicked out into the dog house
:WHOA:

I wonder if I got a batch of NLS that had the GARLIC OVERDOSED :ROFL:

I do try eat some garlic my self for it's beneficial properties in small quantities. I know, how about "Garlic Krill" on the BBQ tonight :headbang2
Cheers

Fish liked bio gold saw good results in color and growth however they wouldnt touch the cichlid staple (green pellets) ended up scooping all the uneaten out. Trying NLS now for variety they seem to like it to soon to see results yet though

In order to settle this, a member should have a divided tank with 2 of the same fish and feed one only hikari and the other only NLS.

2 fish isn't going to prove anything.

Miguel - what test?

You can't possibly run any kind of proper feed trial using only 2 test subjects. And even if you thought that you could, what exactly would you be testing for?

Let us not make this complicated, RD.:)

I read all threads where the comparison between NLS and Hikari is done, and was irritated at the difficulty in getting NLS in Europe.

Got it.

Will try to do this test with 2 of my solo glassbangers. Of course this is not a serious test, by any means and under any theory whatosever.

But, at the least, a year from now, I will be able to say that I fed one with X, the other with Z and that the results ( utterly, obviously, limited ) are ......

Those "results" wouldn't prove anything though. A two subject sample group is, from a testing standpoint, pretty worthless.
