Has anyone used Cobalt Aquatics Tropical Premium fish food? And is it good food to use as a main food source?

Looking at the ingredients list, I wouldn't say that it's the premium food it's advertised to be. Pretty average.

Cobalt - Salmon fish meal, wheat flour, dehulled soybean meal, brewers dried yeast, corn starch, freeze dried plankton, freeze dried krill. dried kelp, dried brine shrimp, fish oil, lecithin, dried spirulina, vitamin a acetate, vitamin d-3 supplement, vitamin b1 supplement, vitamin b-12 supplement, choline hydrochloride, biotin, l-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of stabilized vitamin c), beta-glucan, spray dried egg, garlic powder, earthworm powder, calcium carbonate, vitamin e supplement, d1 calcium pantothenate, niacin, d-biotin, riboflavin, thiamine monoitrate, menadione susium bisulfite complex, puridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid, dried bacillus subtilis fermentation product, dried bacillus licheniformis fermentation product, methionine, natural coloring


Here's new life spectrums ingredients - Whole Fish, Whole Antarctic Krill, Chlorella Algae, Whole Wheat Flour, Omega-3, Ulva Seaweed, Spirulina, Kelp, Garlic, Alfalfa, Mollusk, Fruit Extract, Vegetable Extract, Beta Carotene, Vitamin A Acetate, Vitamin D Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Niacin, Folic Acid, Biotin, Thiamine, Riboflavin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Calcium Pantothenate, L-Ascorby-2-Polyphosphate (Stable C), Choline Chloride, Ethylenediamine Dihydroiodide, Cobalt Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, and Manganese Sulfate.

Compare the top 5 and top 10 ingredients of each, and tell me which one you would rather eat :)

There are a variety of sizes from 0.5 mm to like 6 mm. 1 mm size is perfect for community tanks with small fish like that. 0.5 mm would be for Nano fish.

I don't think the pellets are all that great with gravel though, since they sink through to the bottom. Pellets are really great with sand, which keeps them on top for the fish to eat.

NLS also makes a flake food.
