Does anybody have a pot of the above that they could take a photo of the ingredients please? Their website is down. I have a chance to take on some very young Sturisoma that a friend can't be arsed to raise and some reading has suggested a mix of spirulina and an earth worm pellet that contains shrimp matter (and therefore, chitin) as a good diet for juveniles/fry.

Thanks Stephen, seems to be full of fillers! I doubt fish need cereal or potato! I must admit, I'm not a fan of the fish science Cory tablets neither.

I did buy a pot just to give it a try. The fish do appear to like it, although I only feed it about once a month.
My fish also like the FishScience oak & algae wafers, the cichlids like it as do the corydoras and plecos.
I'm unsure about the FishScience Corydoras tablets although it is endorsed by Ian Fuller.
"With the help of Ian Fuller from Corydoras World and other Corydoras experts throughout the UK we have been able to develop a food that is ideal for these fish species," explained Dr David Pool of FishScience. "We sent food samples to over 50 cory experts and used their feedback to fine-tune the recipe and format. The end result is a food that is not only nutritionally balanced for Corydoras, but one that they really enjoy."

The use of insect meal in the foods has a number of key benefits. It is what Corydoras and most aquarium fish would eat in the wild. Not surprisingly they have evolved to digest and process this food, which results in great food conversion ratios and less waste. Importantly, insect meal is cultured on waste fruit and vegetable material, ensuring it is environmentally friendly and sustainable — and reduces the use of fish meal taken from the sea.

I don't think my fish are too fussed about the worm pellets, the corydoras tablets and algae wafers are a different story though.

I fed my Corydora fry on Protogen: they thrIved on that until they could take more "adult" food.
