Spirulina?

[BoBzz]

What do most of you use for your source of spirulina in your mbunas diet?
Mine seem to enjoy nutrafin flakes but im sure theres something better.

I use a product called O.S.I However, I hear you can get pure spirulina online. I am sure somone will give you a link in the near future.

I haven't been feeding my fish all that much of it lately i have gone with pellets. Its less messy and they like it.

I use a flake food made by HBI it is made for marine fish, but my fish love it. I think it has a little bit of zucunni and other vegatables in it. :roll:

Thank you for your responses! :) Ross have you seen any differance in the fish themselves after feeding them this flake? Im very intrigued by this, as all attempts to feed my mbunas veggies have failed even after starving them for a few days only a few took to it and the rest of the food went to waste so if i could get a flake that already had them in it i would be a very happy fishkeeper :D

Try the HBH graze.

Yes, all my fish have great color and they are all very healthy. I also feed them zucunni and peas. I just cut the zucunii into slices and for the peas I just buy frozen ones and feed 5 or 6. The best way to feed this is to squeeze the middle out of the pea because they like thatt part better. The flakes are made by HBH and are called Marine Greene 40. It is 40% veggies. It has Spirulina, Spinach, Zucuhini, Pea, and Romaine lettuce. The fish love i :D t!

You can get a big back of the stuff at a bulk health store for abotu $10 here. I mix it with european shrimp mixture, but other veggies will work as well. The stuff is messy though :wink:
