I feed NLS' 1mm sinking cichlid pellets (old formula) but I just saw they came out with two new formulas;
- Probiotix formula, based off of their thera+ formula
- Cichlid Naturox formula
They also have a new"er" version of their plain ol' sinking Cichlid.

I used their old formula and never had any complaints...are these upgraded formulas worth it? NLS has always been cutting edge as far as food is concerned and their food, at least their old formula, speaks for itself. I was thinking of getting a small container of both and feeding half Probiotix formula / half Cichlid Naturox formula at feeding times but part of me is skeptical. This reminds me of everyone jumping on the grain-free dog food band wagon years ago and then recently some college (forgot which one) did a study and maybe found a link between grain-free food and heart conditions / problems so everyone is afraid to feed grain-free now.
With that said, has anyone here feed any of their new formulas?
