  • Dry Foods Vs Frozen Foods - Which is Better For my Fish?

Pro-f - Probiotic Tropical Fish Food both

The best course of action when feeding any animal is usually variety! Fish are no exception. When choosing which foods are best to give daily, it is important to look at what nutrition both offer:


Frozen foods:
Most fish relish the opportunity for something meaty - even if it’s not alive. It’s certainly more natural for them to eat, as it is what would be encountered in the wild. Frozen foods offer different levels of nutrition. Some food manufacturers even infuse their foods with garlic or spirulina in order to increase the nutritional value.. But most frozen foods cannot match the balanced diet that dry foods contain. Also not everyone is happy with the idea of frozen fish foods mixed in their freezers with their own food!


Dry foods
Can be bought in a variety of diets and pellet styles and sizes to cater for nearly all fish species. Dry foods are manufactured to provide the correct protein, fat and oil contents for healthy growth. Most dry foods are fortified with vitamins and minerals, much like our breakfast cereals. Fortification of vitamins and minerals in food allows fish (and us) to get a balanced diet. This process has been used for 100 years in human food production! Dry foods therefore provide a staple, daily diet to maintain healthy growth and vitality.

We have been working closely with NT labs for many years now. We stock their Pond range and test kits, we strongly believe they are the best liquid test kits on the market, we use them in-store and have sold many over the years. Last year we have began stocking more of their fantastic ranges including their Pro-f food range and Aquarium range of water treatments.

“I Just wanted to say thank you for the help with bacterial issues I had in my pond. I can happily say that the mouth rot of one fish and the fin rot of two others has cleared up to near perfection now. I have been really impressed with the service from your technical team. I have already recommended online that people ask NT Labs about their products and recommended usage.”

Your Probiotic food is absolutely brilliant! I bought twenty one 1 year old Japanese Koi via a fish farm in Ogata, Japan about 3 years ago. I’ve been feeding them on Probiotic and Probiotic Growth in the summer months. Some of are now 2ft in length and of superior quality. It’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I have used many products for the eradication of aiptasia over the last 15 years. Often with poor results. After purchasing the Anti-Aiptasia, I was astonished with the results! Absolutely fantastic and not like the competitors which normally contains some form of hydroxide. I would highly recommend NT Labs Anti-Aiptasia. This is arguably the best in the market!

I work at a pet store in Durban (South Africa) and have had the best results with my salt water aquariums that I have EVER seen. I have been in the industry for about 10 years now and seriously recommend the products supplied by NT Labs. All our customers that have used anti-aiptasia swear by this product and have said that it over rules every other product out there. Highly recommended.

"I called your offices for support and was put in touch with one of your Aquatic Biologists. He has been incredibly helpful... Without your help, my fish would be suffering and I might have had to stop keeping Koi. I cannot recommend your products, or staff, enough."
