fish food

i came across a fish food - new life full spectrum- it contains garlic which after a few weeks gets into the mucus membrane on fish and acts a deterrent to the Ich parasite.
It wont cure existing conditions but acts as a preventative.

Its also lower in protein and non hormonal - quiet a few of the breeders use it over here and swear by it! It comes in various pellet sizes for different fishies.

you can feed it to the fish in stages and see it eaten instead of feeding the tank and it getting all messed up.

I saw umpteen tanks including ciclids actually following the tub to the end of the tank and going wild when eating it

yea thats what i was thinking about doing i just hate switing foods he has a sensative tummy and he doesnt do well moving around with things. hes just now got used to this food wheni noticed the skin irritations, I want to try canidae but it has ocean fish meal and its close in the same area of ingrediant list as chicken soup so im thinking i would have the same problem. the only other thing i can try really is to put him back on the VF, but its considered low on the dog food analysis site but doesnt have a lot of bad stuff in it just needs to be supplemented with meat, it has some fillers. omg im trying to figure it out in my head im gonna end up doing that, i dont know tho, you think it would just be salmon or would it be just a fish allergy all together?
