Hello everyone,

I抳e been reading about this product which had excellent reviews in Practical Fishkeeping and was wondering if anybody had tried it and if it had been bought online.
I can抰 seem to find it for sale anywhere.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum, Col  :wave:

A quick internet search is (so far) only showing it on Amazon and possibly e-bay, but perhaps other LFSs will start to stock it in due course.

Thanks for the reply.
I'll keep looking.
I'm always trying to find new foodstuffs for the fish

So far, it doesn't seem as though anyone on here has tried this yet. However, as shopping these days is different (no touching/picking up items to look at them and then setting them back without purchase), it might be worth an online purchase. If you do opt to do so, please do report back to us on how your tank inhabitants find them, as I'm sure we'll all be interested.

What fish do you keep? We all like to read about others' tanks and their inhabitants on here. ;D

I had not heard of this food until this thread. I must google it and see what it is.

At the moment I have Omega One Flakes, Northfin bug bites, sinking pellets and kelp wafers; and the shrimps have Hikari shrimp cuisine.



Just found it, and I see it is source of 'live' food. There is one thing that would stop me buying it. The tubs contain 100g and it must be used within 4 weeks of opening. For me, there would be a lot left in 4 weeks as I only feed half a frozen cube once a week  :-\

I have found it The Pet Express and will order some to try.
I have a large  6󫎾 ft tank and a lot of greedy fish!
So I'm sure it will get used up.
I'll post an update when I get it.

Hi @Cj1970

As @Sue says, 100g is a heck of a lot of food for fish to eat in four weeks. The Arcadia blurb doesn't say that it's dried - so it possibly looks like the real thing. But, it is steam sterilized, which probably removes some of its nutritional value. Talking of which, Arcadia don't appear to provide a nutritional analysis - protein, fibre, ash, etc.

In Arcadia's website, the photos of the brine shrimp and cyclops food look like a semi-liquid mush. A bit like wet cat food for those who have cats. The photo of the blood worm looks like just dead bloodworms, a bit like when you thaw a frozen cube but with no water.
