Default Gel food in the UK

Hello in London. I'm a Kent girl living in NE USA. Hope your weather
is better there :-)

I've heard quite a bit about this 'gel food' and how good it is in
preventing swim bladder problems. I think it was available here but
Tetra no longer advertise it on their website and I haven't seen any.
My LFS said they used to carry it. I think it was food suspended in a
protein jelly. (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). I've done
some hunting around and have googled it but can find very little about
it unless it is similar to what reptiles are eating :-)

I've looked at the Tetra UK and AU and they seem to have some great
products that I haven't seen here. Especially the FishDelica product
which is in a jelly. I will go and have a look in some pet store when
I'm back in Blighty.

It might just be that the local 3 petstores, around here, just aren't
brilliant. It took me 2 days to hunt down Furanase. All they would
recommend for everything was pimafix. Think they aren't too
knowledgable or have been spoken to by a very convincing sales rep :-)

Not very informative on the gel food am I? :-)
