Nutramar Ova; The Miracle Food

I bought a WC adult male blue mandarin in my 29g. I got him to eat bloodworms with the jar method but he wouldn't eat anything else. So I ordered some nutramar ova. I put a frozen chunk of prawn roe into the jar and in 30 secs he was in the jar gulping the eggs by the hundreds. So worth the $35

 

That's what I've been saying. It's great for feeding corals, too. Wish more people would try it!!! Get your LFS's to carry it.

 

i do not understand why nobody has it in their stores it is amazing

 

its what live aquaria and a few others use to train fish to eat prepared foods, i had to order it on line. no stores around here carry it. not sure why?

 

Many LFS's are not as up to date as we are. It sells, so they should carry it. Two stores near me sell it now, but they had to be told about it. Before that, I had to drive to Chicago, or buy it online.

 

If said store does not buy from Quality Marine, they are SOL on purchasing any Nutramar product. Nutramar is a QM product and only self distributed. Chicago has some good wholesalers, so many stores use them rather then flying fish in from 104th (California)

 

true when i did ask for it they didn't even know what it was.

 

I have called every fish store within a 40 minute radius. None have it and only 1 has heard of it. I feed my one tank reef caviar (similar to nutramar) and had wondered why my fish had become so robust. I then looked at the nutritional values of all my foods. The reef caviar was at least 6x higher in protein and fat compared to any other food. These foods are simply amazing and really keep fish looking plump. I wish I could get the nutramar to keep my mandarin fat since he wont eat reef caviar.

 

Yea that stuff is like crack for fish. But I sure dont pay 35 for it thats a bit high

 

Im not paying that either thats why I wish some LFS's would carry it. 25 dollar shipping just isnt worth it.
