Raw beef heart, though, is high in fat, clouds the water, and is hard for fish to fully digest. Xtreme blends lean beef heart with krill and other whole foods into a stable flake, so your fish get the conditioning benefits without the fouled water, fat buildup, or digestive trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin:14px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #666;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eBuilt for Growth and Conditioning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a high-protein flake aimed at fast growth, vivid color, and strong spawning condition.
