Ocean Nutrition Pellets Form 1 + 2?

[banditpowdercoat]

I was looking at JL, whould order more Bio Pellets soon, and wanting to get mroe Form 1 + 2 food but they dont seem to have much anymore online. Is the brand going under? My fish really love it and are doing great on a 50/50 mix and I would love to keep usimng it. Getting Frozen Mysis here is kinda a PITA.


Thx in advance


Oceanic Coral's, if your reading this, do you have any in stock? Med or large pelets. I have small pellets still.

I think they were effected by that new food ban/restriction several months ago and so stocks are running out. I'm not entirely sure though.

Ohh crap. what food ban? Where am I gona get my pellets from now?

Kevin @ Red Coral had a bunch of them, he ordered quite a bit when he found out he wouldn't be able to get anymore soon. I stocked up a bit, but he does have more.

to my knowledge only the frozen food was affected by that "ban" not the dry stuff???

I don't know the reason, but Kevin @ Red Coral did tell me about something, this is why he bought what he could, and stated after that no more for the pellets.

kevin where are you? Please enlighten us.

hmm, well who knows maybe the CFIA is taking over dry foods as well but I thought there was just a "problem" with the frozen stuff. That sucks :neutral:

Tell me about it, I use this brand and love it, when I run out I will have to source another.

I have used others, but I do prefer this one. Pellets sink, but not too fast, so they don't just float away and get sucked into the overflows. Also the fish love them. I mix both 1+2 together and feed this everyday.

HEHE, forget I told you about Kevin having them, I think I need to go buy the rest. :biggrin:

I have been told by my wholesalers that Ocean Nutrition is no longer available and that the Canadian Govt. will not allow it into Canada. When I contacted OC directly they blamed the Canadian Govt. I have been told a few different reasons but will not get into them on open forum. So Yes I bought what I could and am concentrating on selling out what I have left and the brands I can bring in. New Life Spectrum, ERA.

The CFIA does not allow transshipping, and now that ON's products are made in Thailand, and then shipped to the US, and distributed from there, that has created at least one of their problems. No direct route to Canada, no green light. It could be that there were ingredient issues as well, there are major differences as to what is allowed in Bangkok, and what is allowed in Canada.

FYI - the new CFIA regulations cover all pet foods being imported into Canada, not just frozen.
