Is the tilapia in the fish collagen wild caught or farm raised? Also, has it been tested for heavy metals and/or have they been filtered out?

I don't know if it is wild caught or farm raised or been tested for heavy metals or if they have been filtered out. It doesn't say anything on the bottle. I have taken over half or a bottle and have had no bad things that I have noticed. I have been taking it for sore thumbs. I haven't had any bad effects that I have noticed. I do think my skin is some better.

I first bought this product at whole foods about 4 months ago. When I bought these sardines at that time, it DID NOT SAY on that can that it was farmed. That's why I bought them. I then ordered them off of Amazon and when I received the shipment, I noticed those cans said farmed on them. I know that there are farms that don't use antibiotics but I don't know about Crown Prince. But clearly they are not wild caught.

I have seen no harm to wild life including ducks and fish, unlike copper sulfate. we have used the produce yearly for many years and my children and myself have swam in the pond with no problems. richard

ALL fish contain some levels. I would want to know if this is chelated to remove mercury and other toxins.

That's a darn good question, and I don't know the answer to it. It would be a good thing to know considering high levels of mercury reported accumulating in some fish over the last several years. I would also like to know if mercury actually settles in the "oil" that is extracted for human consumption, or does it accumulate in other fish body structures and fluids, leaving the fish oil we humans use mercury free, or at least relatively mercury free. The manufacturer claims their oil comes from deep, clear, clean, cold contaminate free Norwegian fiords...or something like that....but I don't recall if they mentioned that they tested for mercury. I have read the box, and some on their website, in the past. I will check into their testing for mercury, and I would also like to know more about mercury contamination in fish-where it accumulates in fish, and where in the world geographically, it seems to be a bigger problem. Anyone, that has information on the above, please let me know. Thanks for your time.

Nutrex has had their products tested by an independent third party as well as in house testing. The product has tested negative for radiation. Also, the majority of the water they use to grow their spirulina is from fresh water ponds with a very small amount of sea water. As a cancer survivor, I've been taking it for about a year for my immune system and truly believe I have been healthier overall since starting it. I have better energy and don't seem to catch colds, etc. like I used to. I also have psoriasis and have seen a definite improvement in that, even my dermatologist mentioned how much better my skin looked. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but I think it's working for me.

I had a difficult fresh water ich issue last year and found that Mardel Maracide worked better. I increased the water temperature to 82 to help with the medication. I think Goldfish like colder water, so I'm not sure about how they will tolerate higher temps. The problem is probably water quality related.

We have used Microbe Lift for years in our pond with no harm to plants or the fish. Microbe Lift was able to help keep our pond clear, great product !

I will not comment on wild Atlantic salmon vs farm-raised, but I looked at my bottle of Salmon Oil and it says "Wild Deep Sea Salmon Oil" and "wild fresh-caught salmon." It doesn't say anything about it being from wild Atlantic salmon. So I went to the Wholistic Pet Organics website, and found that their salmon oil is from Alaskan, not Atlantic, salmon. There seems to be no debate that Alaskan salmon is wild, not farmed.

On the seasonproducts.com website it says "Our fish are al natural, wild caught, and in BPA-free cans"

The inside label states that they use wild caught krill and cod, never farm raised. Also, the butter oil is from free range grass fed cattle never administered antibiotics or hormones. They strive to get the best sources of fish from cold waters. Because this product is not pasteurized, they make extra efforts and make it the way our ancestors did by fermenting the oil to archive the best results. They also test for metals and toxins in small batches to ensure consistency. Hope this helps.

Hello K.R. I found the answer to your question in the Q&A; section of this product. Below is Young Life's response:"Our fish oil is sourced from anchovies and mackerel, which swim in the cold Humboldt Current in Chili (they are not farm raised).Thanks, Kurt - Young Life Research ". I hope this helps.

DEVA has a vegan softgel version of this DHA product, which does not have a fishy smell. It is not enteric coated like this one though.

Not sure what you mean. Its a plant, it has its reproductive cycles as any plant kept in the right conditions does. I've ordered duckweed in various quantities from this vendor and it grows in the right conditions, of course the tilapia would eat it all if it was all kept in the tank with them, so one has to keep a side plant tank just for the duckweed if one wants to use it as an offset for food every couple days. Hope that helps.

Hi, the only thing I know is that it is natural, from the fish liver, not artificial.

It is my understanding that the barley bale is completely harmless to fish. It just naturally absorbs the algae. We used it with mixed results. I think we needed to get 2 of them since 1 didn't seem sufficient. People with ponds swear by barley.
