Spirulina for fish.

[kashif314]

Guys I need to know the importance of Spirulina to fish. I don't have cichlids but I give my omnivorous fish hikari cichlid staple and Cichlid excel and blood worms and krill. I give them cichlid food because its staple and nutritious.

Shall I give them Spirulina too? Its expensive as compared to other foods. If I need to give them then how often and what quantity. Thanks

I have fed it mixed into other foods. Many of the algae pellet/wafers have it inside as well.

Thanks for the reply. Want to know about its significance from someone who use it like u. Is it just for high protein or does it havr other things too? I mean I feed my fish krill and bloodworms for protein and staple diet as a whole. Is it a good idea to include spirulina into there diet as well?

I feed frozen Spirulina Brine shrimp 2-3x/week. Seems to be working well. Look at this beast.

I have read the spirulina is an amazing super food and the colors of livestock and health make it worth the added $$. See this...

This looks like a laboratory. Didn't know it can be produced at home.

Yep. That light is crazy bright and on a special timer. It looks like green mud when we harvest. Then we dry it out and grind it into powder.
