Micro Pellet
Used primarily in hatcheries where stocking levels are large. This is a brand new feed designed where fish health, nutrition & quality of water is of the greatest priority.
Aimed at increasing the amount of feed you can safely feed to your growing fish which increases growth rate in the early stages.
Highly digestible with a built in attractor to get your young fish feeding.
Contains increased levels of vitamins C & E. Also contains naturally sourced nucleotides to help disease resistance. These are well known to aid physiological efficiency,
growth, reduce stress & help in gut related problems.
One of our fish farm customers put us onto this & they report huge reductions in runted or misformed fish.
It's expensive to bring in but we are putting it out at only a fiver for 100g.

Red Granular Crumb
Our biggest selling granular feed. We literally sell tons of it.
This is the best food for fish you can get. If I put every customers feedback here
I wouldn't have space to list all the other great foods....

We import wild fish from the Amazon. To start out in quarantine we use live foods then introduce this feed to them to get them used to prepared foods.
It is perhaps the best food for this purpose as we can use it to introduce Spirulina or drugs needing to be ingested for internal worms etc.
The colouring properties are second to none. We had Bleeding Heart Tetras really thin on receipt but within 4 weeks they were full colour &
chasing each other to spawn. Otocinclus is a well known cleaner catfish which eats algae etc. Our wild fish eat this off the surface. They sit there & suck it
down, it's an amazing site. These fish are not starved as Courgette & other green foods are always in the tank.
Corydoras pygmaeus doubled their size in 4 weeks on this & newly hatched brine shrimp.

Red Astax Crumb

I started out learning the trade around 1970 & in all these years I have not come across such a fantastic food. Made up specially to our order, we have been using this in our breeding unit since 2004. In this time we have bred & raised on thousands of colourful fish & supplied importers & retailers who keep coming back for more orders of fish & feed.
It's such a versatile food which you can feed straight from the bag or mix with Spirulina, extra vitamins, de-wormer, certain treatments etc + mix in with other foods & make up pastes you can store in the fridge. Be adventurous & make up a paste to suit your fish from the range of foods on this site. All contain their own ingredients/nutritional values.
Importers clean up wild fish using this food as a base.
Please note this is NOT Tetra Prima re-bagged although it looks similar.

We import wild fish from time to time. The fantastic Tetra Poecilocharax weitzmanni is one we bring in from a freind in Colombia. This is a notoriously hard fish to acclimatise & feed. After initial feeds of Siberian brine shrimp & grindal worm they take the red crumb no problem & grow well on it.

Red Crumb is well established in UK fish breeders circles, it's highly nutritious, lasts for ages & it's inexpensive.
Astaxanthin gives this food its red colouration. Astaxanthin is hugely important for fish. Astaxanthin is very strong - 10 times stronger than Beta Carotene &
100 times stronger than Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol). The anti-oxidant properties exceed also zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin & vitamin C.

These are 'Killer' snails which predate on other snails. Even these suck up the red astax crumb.

Grade 2 - 0·2 - 0·3 mm.

Granular food with colour enhancer & attractor.

Just about the best dried food I have found. It contains Astaxanthin at 80 mg/kg which is a great colour enhancer. Also contains a very active attractor. I feed it to killies, livebearers, catfish, cichlids & shrimps such as Triops & all take it with great gusto.

I grow coffer tail guppies to adult size in only 10 weeks using brine shrimp & this food. I only feed it once a day !

Rainbow & Angel fish fry are not easily fed prepared foods but are being fed this product by those supplied with great results.

Both grades can be fed to micro, grindal or white worm cultures as a bio-encapsulation food. I sell this to fishermen who add this to pork luncheon meat to make a paste & use it as groundbait or on the hook. Due to high attractor qualities of the food it has proved a winner in catching more fish.

Feed catfish by making a paste which sinks to the bottom. I feed Corydoras & Ancistrus this way & they love it. Wholesalers feed this to 'L' numbers from the wild & they also eat it.

I'm not kidding here, this food is really good......

This food is used by many ornamental fish breeders around the World. Guppies for example are raised to adult size in only 3 months by commercial breeders using this product in their diet.
The Fp.gardneri clauseni Akure (Yellow) shown below was fed this food exclusively for 3 months.

A fishermans tale.....

A fisherman mate of ours tried this food out on the river bank by baiting the area he was fishing with the red crumb shown above. He was catching fish all day whereas the pegs either side showed little interest.
This proves the attractor qualities of the food.

Food so far sent to the USA, Canada, Sweden, Portugal, Malta, China, Denmark, Norway, Australia, Singapore, Turkey, Italy.
___________________________________________

You can bioencapsulate other vitamins or medicines such as a de-wormer by adding it to a solution & making up a paste.

Don't take my word on how good it is. These comments are from breeders who have tried it.......

'Thanks for the food, I've got some week old angel fry and some N.kilomberoensis fry that are both eating it'.

'I got the new food today looks good value.'

'I am geting very good results with Tims new food, my Epiplatys love it,and so do my scripts they gulp it down,It brings out the colour of annulatus and roloffi,I have a lot of E.infrafasciatus fry that I feed only with the new food, they are growing fast and the colours are very bright. Regards Gordon Clarke (302-02)'.

'....contact Tim for some of the food he is selling. It is top quality.
Even my fussy Rivulus xiphidius take it---and have doubled in size since I started feeding them on it.
I do believe that Tim's is the superior product if we want healthy killifish that grow fast and lay gobs of eggs. Its nutrional profile is way above anything else I have seen so far... High protein and high fat/oil is what fish need.'
Tyrone Genade (Nov.2004).

Remember the golden rules to keep your feeds in top condition:-
Keep cool (refrigerate)- Exclude all air from the pack - Store in a dark place which is as dry as possible.
Absolutely do not store on the window sill or on top of your tanks !!!
Some vitamins are easily destroyed by careless storage.

Many of our feeds are refridgerated for top freshness. If the wife (or partner) will allow it store the packs in the fridge & exclude all the air before sealing in our re-sealable packs. This is highly recommended for Brine Shrimp eggs.

I'm behind every product on this page as I use them in my fish house daily. Electricity & gas prices in the UK have gone through the roof. Now, more than ever you need to make money from your fish house to help out with these expenses. It's a testing time in the fishkeeping hobby in the UK.
Start now & save money on feed stuffs.......
