Just a question dont take this the wrong way here.

Why is this a better feeding strategy that say feeding Marine Flake in the morning, Aegis Type 1 in the afternoon and Aegis Type 2 in the Evening

Hi

It is to make sure the fish have complete nutrional variety.

By having a seperated feeding strategy over such a long period of time you are giving the fish a formula that provides not only the right balanced diet but also variance of a long period.

Of course that is not touching on the more important detailed bio-nutrional info, so I will ask New era to add to the above also.

Hi Ryan.

The reason there is the large gap between the diets is because of the individual ingredients in the type 1 and 2 diets. They are designed to be fed for 2 weeks to get the best effect from the ingredients and the a break of 6 weds whilst they work within the fish.

Whilst there is nothing particularly wrong with what you suggest, you would probably not see the full benefits.

Hope that helps!

To follow on from this, Peter Kersh the managing Director of New Era emailed with this follow up

"The products have been evaluated by Aberdeen University and using them in the way we have described increases immune resistance by 30%. Each of the immuno-stimulants used in Aegis (we use Beta glucans in one and bio-flavenoids in the other) needs to be used for a continuous period to obtain best resistance and so to use them only over the course of a day would not work. So, our recommendation is 4 weeks marine, 2 weeks Aegis I and 2 weeks Aegis II"

Of course another feeding strategy is the Liposome spray Aegis feeding plan.



This is ideal for those that wish to feed frozen foods but gain the beneifts of New Era nutritional additives.

Rotating Marine spray with Aegis Types I & II ensures nutritional variety that will maximise health and vigour of your fish.

New Era's innovations in lipid technology have enabled the benefits of Aegis dietary advancements to be incorporated into frozen feeding regimes. The Aegis Liposome Sprays Type I & II are rich in vitamins and antioxidants and use a blend of premium fish oils with natural pigments and nutraceuticals that bind to the tissues of frozen foods to enhance its nutritional profile.
