All my fish love the NLS Thera A.. except the Anthias. They won't touch the thing. The smaller fish like the clown and sixline have to chew and spit many times before they eat the pellets.

At one point I fed NLS pellets for 6 months straight, nothing else. Had AWESOME colors..

well, your court jester won't touch it because he lives off of pods. thats why they filter sand. can't say for the others.

All my fishes eat pellets.

I feed Formula 1 & 2 pellets mixed together.

I like it because it's mixed with Garlic.

Are Spectrum pellets mixed with Garlic?

I am currently feed formula 1 &2 pellet mix too. All of the fish eat it. Someone just recommended New Life Spectrum so I just want to see how good it is in comparison to formula's

I feed Formula 2 pellets. Some of my fish don't eat them because they are too hard.

The NLS Thera-A is with garlic.

NLS does make a very small pellet of their regular formula for Anthias and such.

I use the NLS small fish formula. The pellets are sugar sized. Soak them in Warner Marine ReefPure Vitamin/HUFA Supplement. All the fish including the anthias go crazy over it.
