Description
AminOmega
AminOmega is a unique blend of amino acids and omega-3 and -6 HUFAs
of marine origin, formulated for enrichment of live and prepared foods. It
combines the best features of self-emulsifying liquid concentrate products
with amino acids present in proportions found in various species of marine
fishes. These substances are used by the body to create and repair tissue.
While the use of amino acids and omega-3 and -6 HUFAs is primarily to fortify
foods to be consumed by fishes, it has also proven effective in increasing
the rate of tissue growth in corals, clams, crustaceans, and their respective
allies. Fishes that receive a diet deficient in one or more crucial aspects
may develop deterioration of the tissue along the lateral line and around
the face. As noted, amino acids and omega-3 and -6 HUFAs have been shown to
repair tissue damage caused by deficient diet. AminOmega is a concentrated
product and should not be overdosed or added directly to aquarium water; doing
so may cause water quality to deteriorate. For fishes that show signs of tissue
damage, such as head and lateral line erosion (HLLE), have patience that AminOmega
is providing the necessary amino and omega acids and allow sufficient time
to see results; do not be tempted to overdose, as doing so may cause more
harm than good by impacting water quality as mentioned above. No medicinal
claims are made for AminOmega, however amino acids and omega-3 and -6 HUFAs
have been consistently observed to positively impact tissue generation.
All Brightwell Aquatics liquid supplements are made with purified water and
high purity materials.
AminOmega does not require refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded
area will prolong the stability of the components. Refrigeration will maximize
the shelf-life of the product.
Instructions and Guidelines
To fortify prepared food: Shake product well before using. Place food in a
clean container such as a small bowl or cup and add only enough AminOmega
to saturate. Allow at least 5 minutes to elapse before feeding, enabling adequate
time for the product to become thoroughly absorbed by the food. Liquid food
suspensions may be fortified by adding 0.5 ml (approximately 4 drops) AminOmega
per 10 ml of food suspension; stir to mix and allow 5 minutes to elapse before
feeding. Maximum benefit of any liquid food suspension is achieved when the
food is target-fed to the intended organisms rather than poured into a stream
of water and allowed to disperse randomly throughout the aquarium. Over a
period of several months, the dosage may be increased by 50% if so desired
as long as water quality is monitored and maintained to within the required
ranges. Note that starting at a low dosage will not cause any harm to the
livestock, and will enable you to notice subtle changes in the appearance
of the system that indicate the effectiveness and need for the product. Observe
water quality carefully at all times, making adjustments as needed.
To fortify live food: Shake product well before using. Separate the portion
of the live food (such as rotifers, daphnia, brine shrimp, etc.) and place
them in a clean vessel without water circulation. Add 1 drop AminOmega per
quart of water in the vessel and stir gently to disperse the droplets throughout,
then allow 20 - 40 minutes for the organisms to consume the droplets. Next,
strain the organisms from the vessel with a fine-mesh net and gently rinse
them over a sink with a small amount of fresh water. Feed the organisms immediately
to the aquarium inhabitants.
Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption.
