I asked at an LFS last week.
Apparently it is not only contains colour enhancing properties but worse than that it contains hormones.
That's just what I was told.
Please correct me if this information is incorrect

I haven't heard that Shane, but I have been told that it makes M & F both infertile.

I am not sure what is actually in White Crane, and don't personally use it or recommend it (apart from in specific situations). I can make a few statements about it that I believe are factual:
* It colours up female/juvenile cichlids to full adult colouration.
* Females fed it can still breed after not being fed it for a while, at least from what I have seen.
* It can be useful for trying to ID unknown peacock females/juveniles.
* It can make for a spectacular looking display tank, especially for people who have a fish tank but aren't "hobbyists".
* I don't use it, but I imagine it would make juvenile cichlids a hell of a lot easier to sell to the public from a LFS point of view.
Opinions and suspicions are all well and good when expressed as such... but I think people should be careful what they say as fact on a public forum unless they are 100% sure about what they are talking about

If the food did contain a hormone then we would not be able to import it into Australia would we? It is very very high in vitamin A which as we all know are found in banana's but they dont contain hormones
I think this food is great and i have fed it to some of my display fish and they look great, this food is obviously no substitute for a good quality diet such as spirulina, mysis, brine, pellets and flakes but it does aid in the hobby.
Sorry for the long post but i do not believe the company deserves a bad reputation because of a few rumours.
Please be careful with accusations because the company has the ability to take people to court who slander the product and they have done so as well.
Thanks
