Seachem NutriDiet Cichlid Flakes - 30g

NutriDiet® Cichlid Flakes are formulated to provide all essential nutrients for all Cichlids. The diet focuses on a high Chlorella Algae content. Chlorella Algae is an exceptional source of a broad range of vitamins, amino acids, as well as all other nutrients required for all animal life. It is considered a potential super food that far surpasses the nutrients delivered by Spirulina Algae common to other diets. Additionally, Cichlid Flakes contain GarlicGuard™ as an appetite stimulant.

Vitamin C allows for enhanced immune function and collagen production and thereby tissue repair and growth. This addresses common issues of hole in the head, lateral line, and simple aggression amongst Cichlids. Natural color enhancers assist in making the most of potential color of fish.

Cichlid Flakes also contain proteinates and hydrolysates which allow for more rapid and simplistic digestion of the partner nutrients. Less energy is required by the fish to digest the food. The food is more completely digested allowing for less waste production in the aquarium. This also allows for more nutrient uptake and increased immune function. Lastly, patent pending compounds complete the formulation to enhance immune function further as well as extend life potential, promote natural growth, and enhance the color of fish.

NutriDiet^® Advantages

Proteinates and Hydrolysates

Many of the ingredients in NutriDiets^® are present as proteinates and hydrolysates, making them much easier for fish to digest. This results in greater nutrient uptake by the fish and more complete digestion of the food. The fish benefits from receiving more nutrients from the food while expending less energy on digestion, and less nutrients are lost as waste in the tank, leading to better health for the fish overall.

GarlicGuard™

Seachem’s garlic-based product is added to all of the NutriDiet® flakes to enhance palatability with all fish.

Garlic has a high vitamin C content. Garlic also affords the sulfur-containing compounds alliin, ajoene, diallyl polysulfides, vinyldithiins, and S-allylcysteine. Furthermore, it contains a phytoalexin (allixin). In addition, garlic has substantial amounts of beta-carotene, vitamins B₁, B₂, B₃, B₅, B₆, B₉, C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, zinc, manganese and selenium.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a cofactor in the processes necessary for the formation of connective tissue, scar tissue in wound repair, and bone matrix. Vitamin C is difficult for fish to acquire in natural diets but is critical in addressing healing and growth issues in many fish. Vitamin C also allows for enhanced immune function.
