Has anyone ever used this stuff? You have to soak the fish flakes in it for abit then drain and serve the food supposedly gives added vitamins and amino acid supplement? Doesn't really say how long you soak it just for best results soak one cap ful of fish food daily. So I wonder if you soak just one such as the night time feedor the morning feed or both, or is it just a gimmick? Will try it for what it cost but wonder if it's worth continuing with

I'm actually kind of curious as well. I received two free bottles of it at the AGA convention I went to, so I'm wondering if it's worth my while to add to the tank?

Good question. :good:

When I said to my LFS I want to donthe best for my fish want them to be healthy and happy (I was looking for treats at the time) he highly recommended it and said alot of people buy it for their fish so I bought it but would like some advise before adding it lol unless I just take the plunge. I'll hang on for abit first.

No replys on it so i decided to use it. Well i filled half a cap with food poured this in and left it for 30 mins then it went abit mushy. Ideally i wanted to pour the liquid out but obviously it had soaked in so a scraped the food out and put it into the tank. I think i may have put too much in looked loads!! but they ate it all very fast so i will put less food in the cap next time hard to judge! they seemed to like it but i hope it doesnt pollute the water along with its liquidy stuff!
 
I suspect it is similar to vitamins for people -- if eating a wide variety and healthy foods, vitamin supplements aren't necessary. In fact, sometimes supplements can do more harm than good. A lot of vitamins are stereomers -- chemicals that have the exact same constituent atoms in the same places, just mirror images of one another. Naturally, most stereomeric chemicals exist in pretty equal proportions (not always, but typically). However, most of the time when stereomeric chemicals are synthesized, only one of the isomers are made -- either the "right" or the "left" one. So, if you take a supplement, you could flood your body with only one of the isomers, instead of the mix that you should get. Even if you then ate some food with the mix, there would be very few adsorption sites for the vitamin, because you flooded them with the supplement.

Also, there is evidence that too much of some vitamins can be harmful -- it is looking like we are learning that there are effects of too much Vitamin B and Vitamin D.

In the end, when a human takes a vitamin supplement, a very significant portion of the vitamins pass through the body and then is excreted. Usually, there is just too much in one pill for the body to take in at once. Our bodies are designed to continuously take in a small amount, not take in the whole flood once a day. I suspect that for fish it is similar. A flood of excess vitamins probably doesn't do too much.
