![]() It’s consistent (fish love consistency)īut that’s not to downplay the benefits of spirulina as a fish food supplement.It provides them with energy and nutrition.I’m sure our fish won’t mind where the food comes from or what it’s made out of as long as it ticks a few boxes: We aren’t talking about human consumption though. It’s certainly more marketable than “pond scum” which is essentially what algae is. The term “Spirulina” is essentially a marketing term to make the idea of eating algae more tolerable. The majority of natural spirulina powder and supplements are produced in South America and Western Africa. It’s also one of the oldest cultivated foods in the world, with reports of the Aztecs using the algae as food, thousands of years ago.įun Fact: It’s also been proposed by astronauts at NASA as a potential food source that can be grown in space. We're confident that you'll see the added value in your fish, in their health and in their appearance.ĬOOL MIX, like all AQUANIX Flake Diets, not only has exceptional water stability, but it also contains viable beneficial bacteria that can facilitate the conversion of fish waste and uneaten food into harmless microbial biomass and carbon dioxide - so you'll see an improvement in your water quality as well.Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae (or Cyanobacteria) that is found in salty lakes and oceans in subtropical climates.Ĭyanobacteria’s are technically algae, but they differ from most algae’s due to their ability to produce energy from the sun, just like plants. Nearly as important as the formulation, our process results in better protein retention and water stability than found in conventional flake. That is why we are willing to spend a little more money and a little more time for a processing technology that operates at half the temperature of conventional flakers. Because many essential amino acids, vitamins, flavourants, lipids and beneficial bacteria are heat labile, conventional flake processes destroy or alter the very qualities a formulator (or fish breeder) wants to see included in a premium fish diet. COOL COOKING METHODOLOGY helps to ensure that the key ingredients that comprise our AQUANIX diets remain intact from start to finish. We employ a different process to make our AQUANIX line of premium flake diets. This nutritionally-complete blend of marine and plant-based protein formulations make COOL MIX a widely accepted, multi-faceted diet used for both freshwater and marine community tanks.ĬOOL MIX is a robust, full-bodied flake, but can be ground up and used for small and medium-sized fish. ![]() This makes an excellent guppy food mixture.I really believe BSD has the best flake foods around." S.C., Kearney, MOĬOOL MIX (formerly Tropical Flake Medley) is a carefully considered blend of FIVE of our most popular AQUANIX low temperature formulations - our mysis and DHA-enhanced COOL MYSIS, our krill-rich COOL CICHLID (formerly Zooplankton Plus), COOL COLOR - a brine shrimp-backed, color-enhancing formula with over 400 ppm astaxanthin, COOL GARLICwith proven immunomodulators and the benefits of allicin, and COOL GREEN (formerly Phytoplankton Plus) made with spirulina, kelp, chlorella and schizochitrium. For them, I put the Zooplankton Plus Flakes, Earthworm Plus and Phytoplankton Plus Flakes in a blender and pulverize them into meal. It results in excellent color, growth and breeding. I used to feed them un-named competitor, I now use the Zooplankton Plus flakes only. I just wanted to let you know that I have been using the Zooplankton Plus Flakes on my discus and freshwater angelfish with tremendous results.
