If you love your Blood-Parrot Cichlids, they will LOVE this food!
1 of 1 found this helpful If you want the coloration of you Blood-Parrot to be it's best, and want to give them a food that they'll greedily eat & even fight over, then this is the food to get. Even within just a a couple of weeks of feeding them regular amounts twice-daily, their color has shown improvement and they get so greedy for it, they try to eat three-four pieces at a time. They never choke on it, as what they can't chew they'll easily spit-out and what doesn't get swallowed in their fervor just passes right through they gills & is quickly taken-at once again. Mine are happy & health, and they're looking better than ever.
Thanks, Hikari!

Still, it's a good unit that allows the user a choice & is worth any cost.
The "ups":
Compact, light & portable.
LED upon leading-edge of unit displays a red glow while charging, which goes when charging is completed, allowing you to know when it's ready to deliver a full 3-hours of service.
Cord for use whist powered via 12VDC source--automotive "Cigar-lighter" socket--included, so one isn't left in a lurch if 120VAC service is not available.
A clear picture... once you get the screen's vertical-angle right for your viewing.
F-terminal/coax external antenna input, allowing any choice of outside source--Cable, Satellite or game console--to be viewed upon it.
What desired functions that aren't immediate to the unit's controls are on the remote.
Headphone jack... along with 2-channel stereo A/V-output, which is compatible with 3-element conductor 1/8"(3.5mm)-plug for using external speakers with it.
Tuner's search function allows manual or automatic channel search... As well as choice of air-wave or cable broadcast tuning, like a modern home console.
Progressive-scan DVD/CD-player video/audio synching is amazing! It does well playing most DVDs... Even ones computer-burned from "clunky" file-sources that have been converted!
The "downs":
7" screen rather small for viewing by group larger than a few people... And that's if they're gathered rather close-together.
Antenna input only allows for digital signals... So older, analog signal (NTSC) components--VCRs & pre-2000's game-consoles--are incompatible.
Audio produced by built-in speakers--depending on program--becomes lackluster at higher volumes. Would recommend using external "sound-bar" device w/built-in volume-control for better, more pleasing sound reproduction.
Most supporting functions--screen-size, setup & disc-menu functions--relegated to the remote, so if you lose that....
Included antenna is a joke. Barely receives any signals... and when it does, most of them are on the weak side. Would highly recommend using a typical "set-top" external antenna, albeit amplified or not, when using it's TV-tuner.
Is 3-hour battery life is rather short... And can be even shorter than that, depending on what-all you do with it. Would recommend charging unit fully after watching even one DVD of average-length running-time, just to keep from being caught "Off-guard" & to maintain the battery's total service-life.
