Also found in high amounts are methionine and lysine, amino acids that the fish cannot produce themselves so they need to be present in supplied foods for optimum health.
Krill contains astaxanthin, a carotenoid easily metabolized by most fish species and is responsible for the vibrant colors of tropical fish.
