Description
TDO Chroma Boost is a granulated and pelleted fish and coral feed "top-dressed" with Haematococcus (which provides an excellent source of astaxanthin) for vibrant color and superior nutrition.
Recently, the Virginia Tech Agricultural Research Center did a study on the effects on clownfish coloration with different levels of astaxanthin top-dressing of TDO which led us to optimize our TDO with 400ppm astaxanthin for the reddest reds and whitest white™

F.A.Q:
CAN I FEED TDO TO FRESHWATER FISH AND INVERTEBRATES?
Yes, you can feed it to these animals. The high quality nutrition in TDO is great for FW animals.
SHOULD I REFRIGERATE TDO BEFORE OR AFTER OPENING?
Yes, we recommend you keep TDO refrigerated, especially after opening. Many of our stores and distributors don’t refrigerate unless they use the product in-house. It’s ok for them to do this since they aren’t opening the packaging and they are storing it in cool, dry places at their facilities.
While refrigeration is the best way to store TDO in between feedings, we are aware of hobbyists and aquaculture professionals not refrigerating the food with out any negative effects.
CAN I FREEZE TDO?
Yes!
WHAT HAPPENS IF I ACCIDENTALLY LEAVE TDO OUT OF THE REFRIGERATOR?
It will be fine. Just return it to the refrigerator as soon as you can.
CAN I USE TDO IN AN AUTO-FEEDER?
Yes. It is ok if small portions of TDO are not refrigerated when used in an auto-feeder. We recommend refilling your feeder once or twice a month. The food will not be negatively affected at room temperature while in the auto-feeder.
