Hey all,

I was looking into purchasing some NLS Hexshield fish food, but its out of stock pretty much everywhere!

I looked on the NLS website (https://www.feedspectrum.com/foods) and its not listed as an option.

Anyone heard anything about this?

While I'm not actively trying to treat any internal parasite issues, having something like this around for new arrivals would be great, so does anyone know of a good alternative if it is discontinued?

Back when I needed it in March it was also pretty hard to get. Maybe just slowed production because of covid.
Soaking food in Metroplex or Paraguard could work as an alternative.

Here’s where I recently picked up a container. They’re in California but offer free shipping. I don’t know what normal prices are on these but I suppose supply and demand is a factor here.

That’s where I got it too. 25 bucks instead of 50!

Looks nice, I thought it was a pretty good deal at first. But to have it shipped here it would cost almost $200 cad with all the customs etc.

I already have some of the medium sized so I will wait till I run out of that before I try to get any of the larger size I suppose

I saw that website and wasn't sure how legit it was. So you both had good experiences buying it here?

Edit: Wait I see they only have large available. Thats not going to work for me ?

They had the small when I got it. If I remember right it took forever to actually ship and get to me, but the package itself arrived well. Worth it for being half the cost.

Kens fish food sells mediated fish flakes etc. Might be worth checking out if it’s hard to come by.
Would you recommend using Kens fish food?

I've never heard of it before
