If you find yourself frequenting online reef aquarium forums you may hear the name ORA allot. Ora is the largest producer and manufacturer of marine ornamentals in the world which produces stunning aquacultured saltwater fish, invertebrates and live aquarium foods for the marine hobby. ORA stands for Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums and is a Florida based company.
ORA Glo fish food is what I use as a staple diet for my reef inhabitants. The reason I prefer this food over all other Fish food pellets is its high percentage in proteins, it contains a whopping 48% and if you compare it to Ocean Nuitriton fish food at 35% you can see why I feed ORA Glo on a constant basis.
ORA Glo comes in two different size packs a 1oz pack and a 4oz pack. I have been using a 1oz pack and it has fed my three fish for nearly a year now. The pellet size is perfect for clownfish, however my small damsel makes quick work of these as well. The pellets are slow sinking, giving the fish time to eat every little morsel. A 1oz package costs in the $2.50-$4.00 range and its zipper seal keeps this product fresh.

Gotta toss in 2 cents. Maybe I had a bunk batch, but I found the ORA Glo food to be very fast sinking and hard as rocks. The pellet size not suitable for smaller fish. My small male A. percula and E. stigmatura both had issues eating the pellets (those few pellets that didn’t actually sink to the bottom). And my larger female perc could get them down the hatch, but not without a few nibbles.
I took to soaking the ORA Glo in Selcon first, which seemed to make it a bit more palatable, but after giving it more than a chance, I’ve tossed it out. Glad it was a free sample.
