Rather than relying on generic fishmeal, this diet is built around ingredients that closely reflect what these fish would encounter in the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ingredient list centres on mealworm meal, earthworm flour, and herring meal — a combination that delivers both the protein profile and palatability that large carnivores respond to. Dried brewer's yeast, salmon oil, and whole wheat round out the base, while dried apple, dried seaweed, and kelp contribute additional nutritional variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eColour enhancement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatural colour-enhancing ingredients are included in the formula, specifically spirulina powder and kelp.
