Myka do you just freeze the mash in to portion sizes? Seems like a worthwhile task for the quantity you get

This is a USA marketing tool. In the USA, phosphates in food are not required to be labelled. In Canada, meats with added phosphates must be labeled. That said, I never buy food packaged in or sourced from China (or other third world countries).

I'm currently feeding PE Mysis frozen and NLS algae pellets. I have recently ventured in to the Vitalis products, I have only been using the Marine Grazers so far. I ordered the marine pellets and anemone pellets. I will have to see how the tank responds once I start feeding these products

Frozen mysis shrimp here

I keep flake and pellet food around for people who want to see fish eat and when I go on vacation easier to teach people to feed flake food than frozen (believe me I have had people panick when I show them how to feed frozen)

So... I fed the tank some of the Vitalis Soft Pellets and the fish loved them. So they look promising for now.

I also fed my ritteri anemone the Vitalis anemone pellet and it immediately swallows it up. So far I am very impressed with them. The smell of the food is nice and strong so it appears the ingredients are promising.

There we go, all cleaned up.

I just fed my fish some pellets. Interestingly, in aquaculture, if Clownfish are fed only pellets (can't say what brand) their nests get real bad and their eggs shrink.
