Steven Sanderson –
My guppies have developed much brighter colours since switching to these flakes. The fish seem more active and their fins look healthier. The flakes dissolve well and don’t clump in the tank.
Madeleine Powell –
I’ve used these for a few weeks now and notice a visible improvement in my corydoras’ colouration. The flakes are easy to mix into the regular food and the fish eat them enthusiastically.
Tim Peake –
The astaxanthin content really makes a difference. My angelfish now have a richer red hue. The protein level is high and the fish stay in good condition even during temperature changes.

Good quality flakes with a natural taste. My fish are eating them regularly and I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in their skin and scale health over time.
