Otohime larval feeds were developed for marine fish but is made with high-quality protein sources like krill, fish and squid meal. It smells like the sea shore. I got some several weeks ago for supplementing the diet of late fry and early juveniles. There are various sizes but I got 400-600 microns and 900-1400 microns (about 1 mm).
Nothing remarkable has happened. The fish may be growing a little faster than normal, but it's hard to say for sure. But, the fish absolutely love this stuff! If I give them a mixture of crushed flake, other fry foods and Otohime they will eat all the Otohime first.
It is way too expensive to feed adults but I gave it to some butterflys that we wanted to spawn and they went nuts for it too even though the particles are small. They couldn't have been more excited over daphnia or bloodworms and, coincidentally, they spawned too. It's nice to see fish act like they appreciate what you do for them... even though it's just dry food.
Find it at AquaticEco, Reed Mariculture and elsewhere.
