Based on the color-rich, Veggie Deluxe formula, VEGGIE FX is  fortified
with an addition of a Cyclop-eeze® and NatuRose ® coating and is one
of our most exotic foods to date. Encapsulated with 100% pure cultured
spirulina, freeze-dried Cyclop-eeze® (a crustacean with the highest known
levels of carotenoids and "omega-3" fatty acids), NatuRose® (Haemato-
coccus algae with a 15,000 ppm astaxanthin content) and E.superba krill,
VEGGIE FX contains all natural minerals, nutrients and pigments designed
to enhance the color and luster of your cichlids. With six seperate
applications of color enhancing ingredients, the color promoting properties
are rivaled only by our other specialty formula, COLOR FX.
At the same time, there are absolutely no compromises
in the nutritional qualities. Raw, fully potent vitamins,
digestive enzymes and garlic ensure that the fish are healthy
and free of internal parasites. As in all Dainichi foods, we included
calcium montmorillonite clay to simulate the natural uptake of mineral
particles as well as to bind and neutralize metabolic toxins. Furthermore,
the scouring action of the clay enhances the rejuvenation of the digestive tract which when combined with only two sources of starch (flour as binder and wheat germ as a source of vitamin E and B) ensures the maximum rate of digestion and assimilation of nutrients. The veggie formulas, VEGGIE DELUXE and VEGGIE FX are designed to prevent bloating. Rather than swelling to two or three times their original size, the pellets will break down to their granular state in the digestive tract of a fish. This feature makes it virtually impossible to cause "bloat" in even the most strictest of herbivores such as Tropheus species.
