Equo Menù Marino starts from a ichthyc flour base to which wheat, gluten, fats, oils, yeasts, fish products and subproducts are added.

The following additives are added to the paste:

  • E672 Vitamin A 13.160 IE/kg.
  • E671 Vitamin D3 (cholecalcipherol) 2.800 I.E./kg.
  • Ea700 Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) 263 mg/kg.
  • E6 Zinc (sulfate) 105 mg/kg.
  • E1 Iron (sulfate) 99 mg./kg.
  • E5 Manganese (manganese oxide) 26 mg./kg.
  • E2 Iodine (calcium iodate) 6,6 mg./kg.
  • E4 Copper (sulfate pentahydrate) 6,6 mg/kg.
  • E3 Cobalt (carbonate) 1,3 mg./kg.
  • E8 Selenium (selenite) 0,4 mg/kg.

It results in an analyzed chemical composition as follows:

You can observe the preponderance of proteins, as it should be for a food that replaces the normal diet of carnivorous fish (which would feed on fish or crustaceans).

The aluminum can keeps the food fresh and dry, also thanks to the screw cap.

The food is placed in a vacuumed package to avoid exposure to moisture, this needs to be opened once we start using it.

A dosing orange spoon is also included.

Conclusions

I really liked Equo Marine Menù granules. I cannot ask my fishes if they liked it, I fear I won’t be able to interpret their answers… but considering how they greedily feed on it every day and the fact that no death has occurred in six months, I feel satisfied of this food quality. Their coloration is splendid, a good sign that the additives are doing their job. I suggest you try it and see.

It is easy to dose, it sinks slowly, but I recommend the use of a feeding ring to make sure that every fish eats its share and the granules don’t deposit somewhere in the tank and start decomposing.

The 55 grams can costs, in Italy, 11.32 euros (21 cent per gram), but it can be bought in a bigger 500 g can for 46.80 euros, much more convenient. Anyway, the big package should be purchased only if we can finish it in maximum 6 months after opening it.
