Red
Granular Crumb
New Import June '08
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 for 3+ years. In
this time we have supplied importers & retailers who keep coming
back for more orders. |
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.

Grade 2 - 0·2 - 0·3 mm. Basically a powder fine enough for
new born livebearer fry. Since I started using this grade my brine
shrimp hatches have been cut down drastically.
|
||||||
 |
Grade 3 - 0·3 - 0·5 mm. Fry food slightly coarser than grade
2 suitable for livebearer fry. I feed this to all my livebearer brood
stock 5 cm +. Fantastic grade I would not be without in my fish house.
|
||||||
 |
Grade 5 - 0·5 - 0·8 mm. If you are feeding a mixed community tank this is the grade you want.
|
||||||
|
|
Grade 8 - 0·8 - 1·2 mm. Suitable for fish 3 cm +. Very useful for fish around the 2" mark.
|
||||||
 |
Grade 12 - 1·2 - 1·5 mm. Suitable for larger tropicals (catfish, cichlids etc or coldwater fish).

One of our breeder customers bought this to feed some young Corydoras sterbai he bred & they ate the lot. |
Catfish
Formula
Special formula designed to grow on catfish in commercial quantities as fast as possible. My Ancistrus sit under the feeding spot waiting to be fed. I raised them from youngsters to 15cm brutes with this in their diet.

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. |

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