With garlic.

You have a SA cichlid tank with african tetras. What about columbian blue and red tetras? Ocean has'em.

Heavy on garlic, great for fighting off parasites in new fish.

ok i narrowed it down to the therm-a and the cichlid formula. i am just taking into the account that most of my fish are cichlids and i do feed seperatly before lights out for the corys and bn's. do you know if there is garlic in the cichlid formula. i have been trying to research it and all i keep getting is that most of the formulas are all close to the same

ok sev i did alot of research and the cichlid formula and the Thera A formula ingrediance are almost exactly the same, the main differences are their protein percent (Cichlid Formula = 34%, Thera A = 38%) and Thera A has more garlic. So i should have known better to even ask lol you were right i just sent in my order for some Thera A. Thanks for all the help

I just got my Big Al's order today. I got NLS Thera+A, Community Fish Formula, and Surface Feeder Formula. I've got enough food now for years... heh. The Bettas LOVE the Thera+A and Surface Feeder. The rest of the fish and my RCS love the Community Formula. Most times when you switch food the fish are sorta put off for a while but not with the NLS.

Thera+A is definitely the way to go. The surface feeder is supposed to be 'semi-floating' but the only different I saw was that it didn't seem to sink quite as fast, but I didn't see it floating any longer. The community is just the Thera+A without as much of the very beneficial garlic.

The difference with NLS is the balanced and complete nutrition it provides. I have seen some very impressive results with it, both my own and the experiences of others. I have yet to see these kinds of results even reported with other foods. Growth rates can be incredible, no digestive problems with mbunas and Tropheus spp., Thera+A being the only thing needed to treat marine white spot, discus internal parasites, etc. It goes on and on.

I am glad you are trying it, let is know how it goes.
