    I use it, I soak my food into before i feed. They (the fish) seem to go for the food quicker and it's supposed to be very good for them!! High in good stuff

    I use it at least 3x a week. I soak all my food in it...very good stuff. From what I have been told it is very importnat to add HUFA and Vitamins to food that you are feeding your fish and corals as most foods lack these. Plus if you ever feed live food you MUST supplement this by gut loading...which I use a different stuff for gut loading usually Selco (which is actually different)

    Yup, I use it too. When it gets really lumpy though, its time to throw it out.
    Are there any other fish in the tank that show signs of illness? Could he be picked on by other fish, fin nipping etc?

    Yes, I use it too. I soak my food about 3 times a week also--I think that it is good for the corals too.

    For fish that will take flake food, Brine Shrimp Direct has a flake food utilizing schizochytrium algae, an exceptionally high DHA product used in the making of Alga-Mac.
    The big advantage is that it doesn't spoil fast like Selco or Selcon.
