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.

Red Astax Crumb
This crumb has been deleted from
our mill so it means we cannot get this again.
We only have about 100 kg left in stock (Jan.2012) so if you want it you need
to
put an order in quickly.
Some grades are down to a few kilo's.
We have new granules being made up with virtually
the same ingredients.
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.
|
Poecilocharax weitzmanni.
We imported the fish in these photos from Colombia. They always come
in really small (about 5-10mm) & are notoriously difficult to quarantine
& raise. This is why they are rarely seen in retailers tanks. We
raised these on newly hatched Siberian Brine Shrimp & then onto
our Astax crumb. They are always thin looking even after heavy feeds.

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 'Assassin'
snails which predate on other snails. Even these suck up the red astax
crumb.

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.
Fantastic start to newborn fry. I use it on ALL
my fry.
|
 |
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

If you are feeding a mixed community
tank this is the grade you want.

for fish around the 2" mark.

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.......
