Att de växer snabbt som fan på NLS är vi överens om. Men att få höjd på fisken kräver att de börjar matas på tidigt.Varför inte cyklops el artemia medans de fortfarande har gulesäck kvar? Tropheus-ynegl som fått en dålig start i livet (långsmala) får man inte upp höjden på senare i livet heller som om de matbombats under det tidiga stadiet. Så upplever iaf jag det!
Sen att få "naturlig" form på dem överlåter jag åt andra att berätta..
Vad jag är intresserad av är hur bra fisken färgar sedan de dragits hårt på NLS (grow). Samt blir dessa yngel lika produktiva som vuxna? Och hur ser en vegan-fisk ut invärtes (lever, njurar etc) som käkat foder på 50% protein???
här förklarar en NLS representant varför nls är bra till troffar..
"Bloat is not only common in Malawi Cichlids, it is also prevalent in tropheus and many Tanganyika Cichlids. In most cases, fish food is the culprit. Many proteins used in fish food derived from soybean meal and left over seafood such as white fish meal, shrimp meal(ground shrimp head).These types of protein have poor digestability & absorption rate. Consequently, pathogenic bacteria start multifying inside the intestinal tracts, doubling their population every 20 minutes resulting in bloat. The fish usually linger on for a few days before dying. there is another kind non-pathogenic bloat that occurs by feeding too much in the evening just before the light is out. Insufficient oxygen condition for metabolic activity force the fish to gasp for air. The fish usually die the next day with bloated stomach.
In my opinion, high level of protein is not the cause for bloat, it is poor digestable protein that is the cause for bloat. How do I come to this conclusion? We use tropheus moorii, a herbivore notorious for bloat, as a test subject. We fed the fish NLS (34% protein) as much as they can eat with lots food left over ( this is an experiment, not normal practice). We never encountered bloat problem in 6 years, In the past, we have lost thousands of tropheus using commercial feed. In my opinion, krill, fish, algae, are the most easily digestable protein. Protein derived from soybean, feather meal, blood meal, left over seafood with too much bones are not easily digestable. Ash content greater than 10% indicates left over seafood is being used."
