what spirulina is everyone using? what is everyone feeding?
getting ready for the zebras i plan to pick up this weekend and wanted to know what kind of spirulina is everyone using in their homeade foods? i searched it and came back with all sorts of stuff.
if someone can link me to what they are using it would be great.

anyone have a picture or link to what they are using?
i have seen a bunch of different types of spirulina, some with additives that start with a c, pill form, capsule, powder etc... are they all the same? should i just buy flakes or something with spirulina already in it?
what about the hikari frozen brine shrimp that have been fed spirulina, any good?

Yes, hikari frozen brine shrimp that have been fed spirulina would be very good.eklikewhoa wrote:anyone have a picture or link to what they are using?

mixing in spirulina flakes with your meaty foods would be a good way to supplment. I doubt your zebs would like plain spirulina flake so mixing it would be best solution.
Sera has some good sprilina foods maybe try something like this

I use spirulina powder I purchased at the health food store to add to my homemade foods. It's not expensive, but then I know all of the other ingredients are as fresh as possible, not potentially degraded like they can be in flake foods and what not.

i was wondering what everyone feeds their zebras, from staple to homemade. i was able to find spirulina enriched wafers so i might try those but i have been feeding mine hikari carnivore, hikari algae and NLS h2o tablets.
what i wanted to know is what you guys feed cause mine wont eat NLS h2o nor the algae wafers but they love the carnivore wafers
