The Duraflake™ Formulas:

Freshwater Tropical & Freshwater HiPro - HiPro should be fed to young fish to give them the additional protein they need. Once your fish have reached the juvenile stage, they should be converted to Freshwater Tropical. Unlike marine fish, freshwater species obtain most of the nutrients they need to survive and grow from their food. So our freshwater formulations provide all of the vitamins and minerals known to be required by freshwater fish. No other major brand formulation for ornamental fish is as rich in vitamins and minerals.

Ultra Gold - The ultimate diet for all varieties of goldfish, induding Lionhead, Orandas, Moors and Ryukans. Ultra Gold will provide all of their nutritional needs and maintain their bright colors. For baby fish, mix in 50% Freshwater HiPro.

Spirulina & Marine HiPro - Spirulina Flake is an excellent all around feed for marine fish and has natural pigments (Carotenoids, Chlorophyll and Phycocyanin) to make sure that all the colors of your marine fish stay bright and vibrant. Spirulina also stimulates production of enzymes that transport fats within the body. This allows your fish to convert fat into PFV (physiological fuel value) or growth rather than flab. The appearance of fins and skin will often improve with the introduction of Spirulina Flakes. Marine HiPro is recommended for young rapidly growing marine fish and carnivores. For omnivorous fish, a combination of 50% Marine HiPro and 50% Spirulina is recommended. Because marine fish live in an environment high in minerals, a mineral supplement is not added to these feeds. Leaving out the minerals can actually reduce stress on your fish, as they would otherwise have to excrete the unneeded minerals.

Veggie Formula - Formulated from a variety of nutritious plant ingredients induding marine algae and spirulina. It is an excellent diet for feeding marine and freshwater fish, especially herbivorous fish that require a high proportion of plant materials in their diet.

*Crush flakes when feeding to very small or baby fish.

Pellet Formulas:

KoijGoldfish formula - (For larger pond dwelling fish.) Both sizes (small & medium) contain the optimum nutrients required by koi and goldfish and ensure that the fish will retain their bright colors.

Spirulina Pellets - Add 50% Spirulina Pellets to your koi or cichlid mix and you will improve the intestinal flora of your fish thereby making them more resistant to bacterial infection. Spirulina also stimulates production of enzymes that transport fats within the body. This allows your fish to convert fat into PFV (physiological fuel value) or growth rather than flab. The appearance of fins and skin will often improve with the introduction of Spirulina Pellets.

Cichlid Formula - Cichlids are among the most colorful freshwater fish maintained in the home aquarium or backyard pond. Both sizes of Cichlid pellet (small & medium) will meet all their nutritional needs and help bring out those brilliant colors. To enhance the green, and especially the blue colors, add Spirulina Pellets to your mix.
