I have updated our Fish Nutrition article that is based on decades of experience and testing (in this case going back to 1978)
www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Quality_Fish_Food.html
Here is an excerpt from the "reviews" section:
"Omega Foods are considered excellent by many, myself at one time (I later I discontinued selling this food), but further testing shows a questionable protein source for the price point sold (as per Fish Food expert Clay Neighbors to which he also questions whether whole salmon is even used) and poor protein optimization. This can result in kidney damage over time which in turn can result in toxins in the fish/invertebrate body.
One reason I discontinued this product (among many) was even though I used it extensively for some time (with good results), it simply did not stand up in my in depth trials using the Bahooka Restaurant against the better Spirulina 20.
Another reason I discontinued this food is simply their business practices after selling out to a big umbrella conglomerate company. I was personally approached by the inventor of this product for my professional experience in fish foods due in part to my highly regarded aquarium maintenance company (as well as other professional retailers) to sell this product. Later after being sold, I and other professionals were "thrown under the bus" in favor of discounters and no longer could compete after help building this brand. Would you purchase such a product form a company like this no matter how good, especially since there are alternatives?"
