Naturox Optimum All Purpose Flakes 90g Fish Food

My first experience with New Life Spectrum wasn't so great. I bought some of their micro pellets and they ended up being too large for most of my fish mouths. Once the pellets sank, my bottom dwellers also didn't seem to take a large interest in them either. Despite that, I decided to try another of their products because New Life Spectrum is well regarded my the fish keeping community. This 90 gram or 3.2 oz can of fish food doesn't seem like much, but it really is a large quantity of food. Fresh out of the container the flakes are on the large side. So large, you will end up having to crush them between your fingers before feeding them to the typical fresh water tank stock. I personally keep rainbow fish and mollies and they weren't able to eat the flakes out of the container unless I ground them up first. This is my only annoyance with this product, but if you got fish with larger mouths then this shouldn't be a problem. As with all foods, the way your fishy friends will react is a mystery. Thankfully, my fish were very receptive of this food. The rainbowfish ate it and my mollies went nuts for it. Even my chain loaches and corrydoras would swim up to get the flakes. Before I fed them this food I was feeding them Omega One freshwater flakes. Another thing I like about these flakes is the ingredients. It has krill, squid, fish and seaweed to ensure a good balanced diet. Unlike cheaper economy fish food that is mostly a bunch of fillers like corn and wheat or the dread mystery fish meal. Overall, this is some good food for your community freshwater tanks. Most fish are quite receptive to it and that's probably in part because of the garlic in the food. My rainbows look just as good as ever and now that I'm at the bottom of this container. I have no doubts to get another for my fish to enjoy.

I order New Life fish food on Amazon every month. The only downside is that they don't always have them in stock. But the quality of the food is great. The fish eat it with ease and their colors are very vibrant. Warning it smells horrible to the human nose but the fish seem to eat love it. Great size bottle and it's definitely cheaper on Amazon vs the pet stores.

As described it should not be the only food for fish. I use it as a snack or treat. I use dense pellets for main diet. My goldfish are large but all sizes love and slowly sink.

I was not prepared for this container to be as huge as it was. It's the size of a fist! Individual flakes are large, too. They're easily broken up, though. Fish seem to be enjoying it so far. They eagerly swim towards it more actively than they typically do, so that's a plus. I will be buying again (when I run out some time in the 2030's...).

The flakes in this were massive, so we had to smash them up, but the fish love it and it will last forever for our little guppies

The flakes in this jar are HUGE. Almost like they were scraped off the tray and nearly folded inside haha. Had to use my feeding spoon to crush them up in the jar some. Fish seem to like them. Not sure if my kids did anything as far as opening the large jar or something like that, but after a trip away for a week, the jar of flakes smells strongly of a fishy smell. Fish still eat the flakes, so not sure if they are souring, or if it’s nothing at all. Didn’t realize either the size I picked would be such a huge jar. Pretty sure these will go bad before I can use it all.

If u look at Ingredients in fish food - this is all natural and good for fish - note....Newest lineup from New Life Spectrum featuring the Naturox series. High-protein, more sustainable squid is now the second protein (after whole Antarctic krill) in the formula Naturox Natural Color Enhancing Flakes + Garlic, 90g New Life Spectrum is a color enhancing food that is proven to add color to your fish! Garlic and Thera-A formula which contain a mega-dose of natural anti-parasitic ingredient are also included in this fish meal This fish food is made from South Antarctic Krill, Herring, Squid, and New Zealand Mussel protein This is why I buy this food for my fish, wholesome food except for the wheat in it, YUCK, otherwise great food for my babies!! Wheat now a days is hard on digestion so get rid of the wheat and this food would be awesome even more so!!

My fish have done very well on this food. I used to have a devil of a time keeping angels healthy and happy. Now they grow to fist-sized flake-gobblers! When they see me with this food container in my hand, they literally swim to the edge of the tank and open their mouths waiting for the flakes to drop. The flakes are rather large right out of the container, which is good for most fish but I always crumble some for my smaller fish. I don't have a single fish in my tank that won't eat these flakes with gusto. Interestingly, since switching over to these a couple of years ago, I actually have Bristlenose Catfish repeatedly breeding in a community tank. I'm astonished. Was it because of this excellent food? There is no way to prove it, but it's never happened before. It is not a cheap food, but I highly recommend it!

Love the ingredients and the fish have given their stamp of approval. The flakes are firm enough to be uncomfortable to crush with your fingers but loose change in the jar will break up the flakes, just go easy on it as you will make dust if overzealous.

Lots of awesome stuff in these, not just filler. I throw big pieces in so all my guppies have fun tearing it apart. Fun for them and to watch. Bought for the garlic and a few other ingredients. A little pricey I thought but Big container, huge flakes. Worth it for my spoiled pretties. Colour improved too.

Been using this for years ..the fishes seem to love it ..good quality..keep your marine fish happy

I had to get a flake food because my new juvenile blue-eyes are too small to eat even small (0.5mm) pellet food. They will eat this flake because it's the only thing I can easily crush up for them. The other fish (tetras, endlers/guppies, though the latter gobble up everything so they're not good judges!) will eat them, but they don't like them as much as others (like Fluval Bugbites, they l-o-v-e that stuff, and Hikari micro pellets/Vibra Bites). Sometimes I see the tetras eat it and spit half of it out. It is nice food that doesn't muck up the water, though. I mix it up so the fish don't get it every day, except for the blue-eyes. I really like the ingredient list, so I do use NLS pellets and flake (and have used with good results for 10+ years), but my fish definitely prefer eating Bugbites and Hikari.

I have been feeding my fancy guppies with these flakes and did a trial of feeding just NLS and no other foods for about three weeks now. My fish are the healthiest I have ever seen them, the juveniles are growing fast, colours are amazing. Most of all the health of my fish is excellent on NLS and they are vibrant and energetic and looking the best. I am now purchasing the NLS small pellets for them and they love those too. I can now feed a lot less food to them and get amazing results and cleanser water and aquarium. I highly recommend that you try new life spectrum for your fish!
