Paradigm Fish Foods
Regalblue:
The MCA would like to announce it's newest sponsor... Paradigm Fish Foods.
What makes Paradigm Fish Food different from all the rest?
1. Its the only 100% Grain Free tropical fish food available.
2.They use dried chicken egg whites as our "binder", this also is an excellent protein source and a complete amino acid profile.
3. All of their food varieties contain over 1% Astaxanthin (a natural color enhancer for red/yellow spectrum and antioxident).
4. All of their food varieties contain spirulina (a natural color enhancer for blue/green spectrum & helps boost immune system).
5. Their food is NOT milled. Its handmade in their own facility located in the USA.
6. Their food is not cooked or baked. They use a dehydrator. The food is dried at 100 degrees to preserve naturally occurring vitamins and fats. Plus drying the food for a minimum of 12 hours at this temperature kills dangerous bacteria.
7. They don't use the min/max system for nutritional analysis. All percentages add up to 100%.
8. Their food is not a pellet or a flake - its a crumble. This way you only have to buy one size. You adjust the size of the food to tailor to your individual fish.
9. Their foods contain the proper net energy (starch & fat) to ensure your fish lead a long and healthy life.
Also as part of our sponsorship agreement - MCA members, in good standing, will receive 15% off Paradigm food orders from lowcountrycichlids.com

Paradigm Fish Food:
Hi all and thanks for allowing us to become a sponsor of the MCA. We are very excited to be a part of your organization. We have 5 different varieties of premium tropical fish food: Carnivore, Herbivore, Omnivore, Grow, and Skinny Shrimp. You can check out our website at www.paradigmfishfood.com and of course if you have any questions or need anything you can send me an email or PM. Here's a little bit about us....
We have been breeding Rift Lake African cichlids going on 30 years now. We have tried every single manufactured fish food there is on the market and was never completely happy with any of them. One day about five years ago, we decided to try and make our own fish food. We began studying the ingredients and nutritional analysis of each type of food by making comparison charts. Then took all the knowledge we learned about the different types of fish and their dietary needs by breeding fish plus all the research we had compiled on the different fish foods on the market. We then decided that we could and would make a fish food far superior to any other food available.
First and most importantly, we were trying to make a binder using a minimal amount of starch. We knew that eggs were used in holding baked goods together so why couldn't we use it to keep whole fish meal together? We tried actually breaking whole chicken eggs apart and taking the whites out but that got way too messy. So we then decided to use dried egg whites. Having a binder that has 75% protein with a complete amino acid profile separates our food from any other fish food on the market today.
Secondly our food is designed to maximize net energy gain. This makes feeding less and getting at least as much or more energy gain possible. When the fish can use more of the food it leads to less waste in your aquarium. Less waste in your aquarium obviously means a cleaner tank and therefore healthier and happier fish.
The end result is an all natural, no filler, 100% Grain Free fish food. By reading our label you will know exactly what you are feeding your fish. We do not use the min/max system that every other label uses so you will never have to guess what percentage of starch, protein, fat, etc is in the food. You spend hundreds (and hundreds) of dollars on your fish....so why not give them the very best fish you that you possibly can.
Quality in every crumb...
Thanks again,
Stephanie

Hi Stephanie - What is the shelf life for your foods? ( More specifically"shelf life on the counter" and "shelf life in the freezer"? )
Paradigm Fish Food:
Shelf life opened would be a 1 year and shelf life unopened but in house would be 1-2 years but I would still recommend using it within a year. The food is dehydrated so there is a very minimal amount of moisture in it (average 4.4%). Shelf life in freezer...I would say is 3-5 years.
