Love Fish ?

[clivealive]

are 'love fish' products made for p@h's or can you get elseawhere.
 
also are they any good, pettets flake or treatements

?

I think they are p@h's own brand. I wouldn't use them... there's a reason they are cheap in my opinion. 
 
If you want good food check out New Era. Not an easy brand to get hold of in my area but my cories fight over their pellets and my oto's will even have a go at the algae wafer and my oto's won't eat anything! Ever! not even cucumber or courgette. They are the fussiest oto's known to man but they like New Era.
 
New Era foods are made here in Yorkshire and I do like to support local companies

 
As to treatments. I like Waterlife's products and also TAP Fish Doctor

I have seen these products in LFS  P@H, have never tried them and have never been tempted to tbh.
 
For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I seem to regard these as cheap inferior products. Though probably perfectly fine and I have never taken to them so therefore have no idea on what they are actually like.
 
I tend to stay with recommended products found on this forum and from other good websites.
 
Sorry, I know not much help to your question, hopefully a few members will help with more information on anything they have used from this brand.

agreed Ch4rlie ... they just 'look' cheap ... perhaps it's the plain looking label. I'm not sure tbh. I honestly thought they were just p@h's own brand though. I've never seen them anywhere else in this area but then my fav lfs tend to stock Tetra mostly. I have to shop around for my New Era

was just wondering as when i purchased a tank I got a tub of ' love fish' pellets. really quite big but soft ish. (couldn't read all of label)
fed to my cichlids and they went banana's for them, like nuts , ive fed all kinds of foods and they have never got like that.
put them in again and same reaction.    TBO ive used quality food in general cichlid gold and new Era pellets never this reaction.
 
lucky for me my LFS does a range of new Era , but expensive.
 
mind you they do like the New Era ' stick ons ones

mine were suspicious of the stick on one and tended to circle is eating the bits that were floating off it rather than pecking at it and getting a good mouthful. 
 
Have you had a look at the ingredients of the Love Fish? It it possible it's full of additives and that's why they go mad? Is the equivilent of say ... broccoli and chocolate cake? 

 

[clivealive]

ref ingredients will see if that bit is visible lol.
my JD bites big chunks of the stick on new era
sometimes it falls off and he tries to eat it whole lol
 
oh being a diabetic i would dance for chocolate cake

 

[Akasha72]

I've just had a look online to see if there's any ingredient lists there but I can't find anything

[Akasha72]
