Hi All :hi:

I was wondering is anyone has any experience with these pellets??? :dk:

I was in a lfs and picked a tub up! They are really soft and stink like mad. I put a couple in 2 of my tanks with some plecs and cories in and soon as they went in they went mad for them!!!!

Regards

Ricky

Hey All

Yeah just trying it with BN, gold nugget and cories at the moment.

The ingredients are :

Protein 39.4
Inorganic matter 17.3
Oils and fats 7
Moisture 25
Fibre 1.5

Which adds upto 90.2 ?

We have just started stocking it, it will be applied to our website next week, have been testing the range in store for the last week with the sample containers, all the fish go mad for the stuff even the picky wild discus race too the discus pellet which did make me surprised, will take a feeding video for you guys later

The tub I got was 120g and the pellets are about 15mm long by 6mm round and they cost me £5.50 a pack? I have noticed that if you put more than 2 or 3 in a 2ft they make the water cloudy though! But so far in all the tanks I have tried them in all types of fish hunt them out very quickly?

I did find a couple of posts on the Internet about them saying they don't do or have in them what they say they do???


Composition on these is fish and fish derivatives, derivatives of vegetable origin, minerals, molluscs and crustaceans, oils and fats?

Regards

Ricky

New Era can be found HERE but I think they have only recently expanded their tropical range and there is a new website coming soon.

My plecs and corys go mad for this stuff, although it does start to work out a little expensive when you have a large number of fish to cater for.

I'd definitely recommend trying it :)
