New Life Spectrum: Community Fish Formula Review

by Rush

Overview:

New Life Spectrum has an excellent variety to choose from. The great thing about these products is they are specialized exactly for their label (community fish, discus, cichlids, etc.). I've only been using the New Life Spectrum foods for 3 years or so, but I can already tell you that they are a great product. I use the Community fish formula for obviously, my community aquarium. Fish like tetras, barbs, danios, loaches, small catfish, and small cichlids really do well with this food. It's very small, and it sinks. It's devoured by all fish, and thus far it has given my fish great growth and great color. NLS also makes Pellets for larger fish that do well for young and juvie oscars but finding larger NLS pellets for adult Oscars can be difficult.

This is a highly recommend food, considered amongst the best available 

Pros:

• Results: This food will give you results. It boasts "horomone free" color enhancing properties and ingredients that will boost immune system function. When compared to other foods I've tried, NLS does produce better coloration.

A marketing statement from the manufacturer that I find to be true.

Feed New Life Spectrum® fish food exclusively for 10 days

.

You will begin to notice enhancement in color and vitality of your fish or we will simply refund your money. Please Note: your fish will continue to improve in color and overall health over the next 30 days.

• Taste: All of my fish love this food. I've even seen my plecostomus try to eat it!

• Cleanliness: This is a clean food. It doesn't crumble or cloud like flake foods.
• Ingredients: The NLS ingredient list is outstanding. Instead of "Fish Meal", which usually indicates the meal is developed from leftovers unusable elsewhere (scales, skin, bones), "Whole Krill Meal" and "Whole Herring Meal" make up a majority of the food, which means they used the whole animal, not just the leftovers. The inclusion of spirulinia, as well as fruit and vegitable extract, in combination with krill being the most used ingredient, results in a pellet food that fullfils an Oscar fish's dietary requirements, closely simulating the natural diet of a wild Oscar.

Cons:

• Pellet Size: Some types of this food are so small that unless you have a sand substrate, uneaten pellets will fall and find its way into the substrate. On the other side of the spectrum (pun intended) they really do not make a pellet size large enough for large fish such as cichlids (if they do, it's hard to find). The "Large Fish Formula" pellet is fine for fish the size of convicts but it a little too small for adult Oscars. (Kmuda Note: I was in PetCo 09/10/2011 and noticed an NLS "Jumbo Fish Formula" that is of sufficient size for even the largest Cichlid, so it appears NLS finally got the message, although it's a sinking pellet and I prefer a floating pellet).

• Availability: Many New Life Spectrum foods are specialized, therefore they may not be available at every pet store you go to. You may have to order it online. (Kmuda Note: PetCo is now carrying NLS, as is BigAlsOnline.Com)

• Product Confusion: There are so many NLS pellets, finding the "exact one" can be difficult. There are pellets for multiple species, floating pellets, sinking pellets, slow sinking pellets, garlic pellets,  with many in three to four sizes.
