Default Vitamins?

Was checking out content of vitamins I use for my bird.

Any reason it would also not be beneficial to add periodically to fish food?

I already add a garlic additive couple of times a week.

Vitamin A (Palmitate) 2960.0 IU
Vitamin D3 1480.0 IU
Vitamin E (dl-Alpha Tocopheryl) 65.0 IU
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 1000.0 mg
Vitamin B12 0.15 mg
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 7.5 mg
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 60.0 mg
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 7.0 mg
Niacinamide 90.0 mg
d-Pantothenic Acid 44.5 mg
Vitamin K (Menadione) 1.5 mg
Folic Acid 1.5 mg

It is definitely a good idea to add vitamins to your food and let it soak in the liquid vitamin formula. Much of the food we offer our livestock is low in nutrients as much of it is moisture!
Many of us take vitamins, so why not include our underwater friends!?
