Fish Foods

[Swizz]

I've always been satisfied with the Tetra/Hikari products, personally.

We all want the best for our fish, don't we? No question about it. Of course! And with a choice of personal preferences and background to our knowledge, we can only go by on how the fish thrive on whatever we're giving them.

Mind you, I wouldn't mind giving NLS a bash and see how they take on that.

There is always a brand that claims to be better then the next, and "Kens Fish" claims to be on that list from what I have seen on the Net. Another wonder that needs to be conquered!

Wheat flour is second ingredients, poultry by-products, feather meal, and special color enhancers, no thanks. Is the ethoxyquin added to the food or are they just admitting it is in the meals?

That is A LOT of fat for long term use, will very likely cause fatty deposit problems.

I would also be curious about how digestible that blood meal is. As in how much of it boosts the protein content in a lab but isn't available to the fish (meaning it just comes out the other end and increases ammonia). How many fish can digest blood meal without problems?
