You should be able to pick them up at any drug store such as Walgreens, Duane Reade, CVS, etc. Also, any natural food store such as GNC will have them as well as acidophilus tablets.

Go to a farmers feed store and buy the bulk vitamin and mineral premix for livestock. Cheaper and easier to use. If you buy vitamin capsules at the pharmacy then dump the whole bottle into a coffee grinder to pulverize them so they can be worked into the food.

Thanks for your replies. I am able to find any farmer feed store in NYC though. I went to drug store and bought one of this(link to SuperC (http://drinksuperc.com/slender/))
Can you please confirm it is the right product for me (nutrition facts ???)?
Thank you.

Aquatic Ecosystems usually have bulk vitamins fir food mixes
I use my own Vitamin C tablets I get at Costco. I smash one cap (1000mg) and add it to the food. I also use human vitamins but looking for a better alternative.

May I recommend you purchase a powdered dog vit/min supplement? This will improve absorption for the fish, and better mixing qualities for your gel food recipe.

Try a pet store even Petsmart or Petco should have doggie vitamins. BTW Petsmart has all their tanks on sale this week......:yess:
