    Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef, hands down. Also, Ocean Nutrition's Discus Flake and Brine Shrimp Plus are very good.

    Thats strange April, why is Canada banning products with bovine it them? Is it due to animal rights groups or.....thats really weird.

    I just read about it rBGH, interesting topic too.

    Ed's Almost Natural Fish Food. His TRIOBLEND=Discus Crack! He has other great foods too. No fishmeal, wheat, whey, gluten. All natural "human consumption" ingredients. Also Bill's(Inland Empire Discus) Super Beefheart flake, very excellent as well. Both worth looking into...Bill

    I feed the prime reef as well, its amazing. My guys don't like pellets or flakes though, so I will feed the flakes with a small amount of frozen blood worms, as they look very similar and they eat it all up.

    Someone said it turns the water orange

    ON Formula one doesn't for sure, it is stated on the package that it does not

    "Formulated and tested by aquaculture biologists. Does not cloud the water"
