Vitamins and nutrition for apistogramma?

[Zenislev]

Anyone here uses any vitamin solution for your apistogrammas? Any brands to recommend?

i used to use aquamedi vitamin solution, but i've stopped since switching my food to NLS. there was a slight improvement in colouration and liveliness when i started using it, but since switching food and stopping the vitamin mix i have further improvement, which leads me to believe that the vitamins are better utilized by the fish when ingested in food. for now, i only use it to soak frozen bloodworms before feeding

Thanks for sharing.

if you do not want to soak your fish food. You can try to use ADA vitamix, Dennerle S7.
Fish food can try Dennerle Vmaxx gel

Actually I have never thought of using vitamins for my apistos, thanks Zack for bringing it up. Still got a bottle of Azoo vitamins which I use for my discus. Time to give some to my apistos

I'm using Dennerle S7, so far so good.....

basically i suppose these external vitamins and minerals such as aqua medi, azoo or dennerle s7 which you guys are using, is suitable and beneficial for all kind of fishes?

I never feed my fish with any vitamins in specific because I sort of believe in 2 things generally:

1) Water quality & management - Good and proper water management will ensure good water quality and proper water parameters, your fish will automatically bring out its best potential in the long run.

2) Genes - If your specimen has good genes, it will highly develope its potential, as a matter of time, under good and proper water management. Likewise, if your specimen has poor genes, you feed abalone or bird nest also cannot improve much on the colour/potential.

Diet wise, I didn't feed anything special, just artificial daphnia mix(to cater to small fish with tiny mouth such as boraras spp.), live food and NLS pellets(because it can sink more readily to cater to fish which refuse to take food from water surface).


If you interested in adding additional supplement, can try ADA Vitamix. Description of ADA Vitamix
It contains a bit of Eurycoma longifolia in its content according to Azmi. Maybe can promote mating and thus, breeding?? I haven't tried before though.
Eurycoma longifolia Jack enhances sexual motivation in middle-aged male mice.

Hello bro zack, i think no point thinking what type of vitamin solution for your apistogrammas.. The best is fresh and live foods!!! Like live bs and feed them with NLS pellets more than enough..
