We feed peat moss to our fish?

We always look for all-natural ways of keeping our fish healthy.

One of our “secret sauces” is a mix of carbon compounds that is made from peat!

We drip it in the water as a natural detoxifier. Carbon is a “binder”, meaning it causes toxins, bacteria and stray manure to clump together and fall to the bottom, where we clean it out daily.

We also add some to the fish feed, where it helps with gut health and their microbiome. Farmers growing chicken and pigs are using it too!

It has its roots in ancient Ayurvedic medicine from 3,000 years ago. They have a natural herb-mineral compound called ‘shilajit’. It has carbon-driven nutrients that are proven to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting benefits.

And funnily enough, each one of us thinks it smells like something different. Some think black licorice, and others swear it smells like cherry cigars, Christmas baking or figs!

We try to use as little chemicals and medications as possible, and this is just another way we do so. Thanks to our friends at MTS Environmental Inc. for sharing it with us!
