The fact is that marine fish have a varied wild diet, but there are various comparable products on the market. Euphausia pacifica is certainly not the soul diet of the fish we keep and particularly those from warmer oceans. These fish certainly consume more than the product that you are marketing here on Canreef.

While this is true....... Euphausia Pacifica harvested from the ocean off the coast of BC (and elsewhere I'm assuming) is a much closer representation of what a saltwater fish may eat in the wild than a shrimp harvested from a lake in BC
