When an intestinal infection occur, harmful pathogens act destructively against the function of the digestive system , negating the health of the infected fish. Unless an effective treatment is performed, the fish may eventually perish. Oftentime, a broad spectrum medication or antibiotic is used to treat such infection.

However, while such medication are effective against harmful pathogens, important intestinal microorganisms are also destroyed in the process. Hence, treated fish may continue to be susceptible to other form of infections or become emanciated as a result of poor digestive function.

Benefits
In the above situation, feeding with Probiotics can aid fish recovery in regaining optimum beneficial microoganism in its digestive systems.  In normal healthy fish, feeding with Probiotics regularly can keep gastro intestinal microoganisms at peak level to the point where it displaces harmful pathogenic organism, thus preventing potential onset of infection.

A healthy digestive system ensure efficient nutrients assimilation, leading to good health and improved immune system. Also, during our feeding routine, leftover food waste are digested by the beneficial probiotic microorganism. This is a big plus as it means minimal fouling from uneaten food. Furthermore, these microorganism become part of the existing biological filter milieu, thus reinforcing and improving system biological efficiency over time.

Developing Henry’s Reef Gourmet with probiotic benefits is the response to the customers’ feedback with regard to concern over high nutrient from the use of frozen blend.

All the three blends can be used successfully for fish, LPS corals, invertebrates. Feed sparingly for SPS dorminated systems. It is also effective in inducing fishes that are regarded as difficult or will not feed in captivity to start feeding. Example of these fish are Achilles Tang, Powder Blue Tang, Clown Tang, Moorish Idol, Cleaner Wrasse, Regal Angel, Mandarinfish, Pinnatus Batfish, Copperband Butterfly and many more…

This exciting gourmet is now available in our eStore.

All fish need to eat generally what Mother Nature intended, and there will always the case that an aquarium kept fish simply does not get enough of the variety of food they need.  There are different kind of fish food available, dry food such as flakes or pellets, live food as in any creatures that move to attract the fish to eat them, liquid food for the young fry, or frozen food of the dead living things. Some fish are. 

The most convenient method to feed your fish is flake, which is formulated by nutritionists to supply all the protein that a fish need. Feeding flake is not sufficient, a fish diet needs to be varied, just like us!  Live food such as tubifex worms, blood worms can be fed.  The disadvantage of feeding live food is the tedious manual process of getting them cleaned to reduce the risk of passing unwanted bacteria that will infect the fish. To be safe, one can hatch and rear brine shrimps to adult stage before feeding, which are generally clean.

Frozen food is an alternative to feeding live food and these food can be either bought from the stores or home made. All that is needed is to get these food stay frozen and kept fresh in the freezer. Getting frozen food ready for feeding is easy. Just get the food thawed properly without heating them to maintain as much nutrition value as possible. Good frozen food should contains good nutritional value for the fish.

Make your fish happy, by feeding them with a good rotation of variety of diet between dry, live and frozen. 

If you are lucky, your fish may let you fondle its head while it feeds off the food from your hand!  Do you know which fish does that?
