Technical Background
AminŌmega 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. AminŌmega 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 AminŌmega 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 AminŌmega, 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. We develop formulae
for aquaria based on empirical data, using observation and
measurement rather than theory.
AminŌmega 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 AminŌmega 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) AminŌmega 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 AminŌmega 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.
