Weve seen a lot of new lights, pumps, additives, filters and more released periodically but what about foods?
I realize, there are many good diets out there and despite the pandemic through 2020, we survived when it came to nutrition and a time when restaurants who serve foods for humans were hurting, not the reef industry when it came to foods.
It is apparent as with sales of fish during pandemic, both fish and foods held their own. As reefers discover the value and need for fish nutrition, they have made their own foods and ingredients to assure freshness and nutritional needs. The fact is, frozen fish food appeals to reef and marine hobbyists and solidifies that reefers are the main ones buying frozen foods for their tanks and are saltwater hobbyists VS fresh.
The newest or most recent line offered was the bio-Pure line of frozen foods by Hikari featuring Spirulina mysis shrimp. It will be interesting to see what if any new foods are offered before the end of calendar year 2021
