Robert Guggenbuehl's Top-Aquaristics grower-BITS with spirulina and artemia
General information
Robert Guggenbuehl (Honorary President of Aquaria St. Gallen,
Chairman of DCG Switzerland) wrote following report upon the introduction of grower-BITS:
"First of all, a sincere thank you to all our loyal customers buying the approved grower-flakes. The quality of our fish food has gotten around. The clientele of pet shops and breeders of ornamental fish is becoming bigger every day. The end customers are nearly always giving us a positive feedback. Sometimes, it takes a little time until fish get accustomed to this food and start to eat it greedily. We do not use any artificial flavourings.
The large success of the flake has encouraged us to produce an extrudate in the form of BITS (approx. 1.5 × 0.5 mm) now. Again, we are working together with the approved animal food producer Interquell. The BITS have a slightly higher protein- and fat content and are therefore very suitable for growing fish. A real novelty of the extrudate is the addition of a little amount of cocoa. The enclosed product brochure displays the entire the high-quality ingredients to you, as already done before with the flake. The quality criteria apply to both products."
Different protein supplies (fish meal, artemia, spirulina, yeast, etc.) promise good growth.
By adding astaxanthine as a nature-identical colourant, the pigments in fish will develop an intensified red, but also yellow, green and blue colour.
