Are All Sinking Pellets The Same?

[jackrmee]

I'm looking for sinking pellets for the Blackmoors.
I found "Small Cichlid Pellets ( sinking ) 1.5mm" on eBay.
Any good?

Definitely not. Each fish will have its preferential food types, and it is best to get pellets or whatever that meets the unique needs of your specific fish whenever possible. Even then, different companies will produce food of varying quality, just as with human food companies.

OK thanks.
I was thinking eBay

Lots of food options available, but not everything on eBay is good... Nor is everything bad. Gotta take each individually. I'd suggest finding something specific for goldies.

goldies have specific food requirments, you may need to be on the look for specific foods for them as they eat alot

I'd wait before buying food specific for your blackmoors, depending on what comes out from your other question you might decide to rehome them.

I think that the nephew will want to keep the Moors. So it looks like I may have to rehome the others in one of my tanks.
Been looking on ebay and there is absolutely loads of pellets. How the heck do I choose which ones for the Blackmoors?

ps. I've answered the hardness question on the other thread now. 
Thanks

As I mentioned in your other question, the black moors will outgrow that tank quite quickly if treated well.
You might want to start considering an upgrade soon or convince your nephew to let the black moors go.

My LFS recently suggested some "King British" brand goldfish sinking pellets to give to my weather loaches. I can say that my old goldfish (him in the avatar) gobbles a lot of them up before they hit the bottom. The loaches root them out from the gravel.
