y dont you buy the astaxanthin powder its far more better.
inject into your shrimp/prawn very good outcomes for a nice red red.

I'm not sure if it's the krill or something else, but NLS brings out both the red and blue in my African Cichlids. The #1 ingredient in NLS is krill. I was feeding other high quailty foods like Hikara Cichlid Bio-Gold, Hikara Excel, Omega One Super Veggie, etc. The fish looked good, but when I started feeding them NLS, after about a month, I noticed a big change in color saturation.

I was always under the impression krill has a lot more.

i have the same brand stuff that you have but it's called "Large Medley" it has both shrimp, krill, and some other stuff... it's neat and they love it.
