Let's Talk About Fish Food

[DMD123]

Found this quote form AquaMojo: "I feed all of my fish a mixed diet with Xtreme Aquatic foods as a staple."

It came form an old archived MFK post. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-392306.html

Man... I want it all! :twisted:


Does anyone have any experience http://www.kensfish.com/kens-sinking-bits-wafers.html

He just says bits and crumble a lot in the descriptions, make's me worry if it'll be a messy food

Crumble is exactly that. It is for the small fish. Not messy at all, the bits are slightly larger than crumble. I feed crumble to my fry. Works great.

 

[Adonijah]

So do we got a date? I'm ready :bounce:


Edit: My omega one marine flake's cost 13.99 at Sierra's for 5.3 oz. Ken is selling most of his flake at ~4.50ish a half lb. That's 1.5 times more food for a fraction of the cost. I'm sold. And as far as I'm concerned we should do this once, maybe twice a year!

 

[Adonijah]

Terrence? Madness? When do you guys think you'll be ready? It'd be nice if we got this out of the way before christmas

 

[Madness]

Well, considering that I am running out of food for my bigger fish, probably real soon. What are you wanting? And we can set up a time and day to get funds from you.

Anyone else?

 

[Adonijah]

Here's my list.

1lb Freeze dried Krill Superba
1lb Freeze dried earthworms
1lb liver flake
1/2lb Ken premium Spirulina max flake
1lb sinking pellet brine shrimp
1lb sinking pellet spirulina
1/2lb krill pellet 4.0mm


This puts me at about $100 before taxes

 

[DMD123]

Right now I am pretty well stocked up, just got food and I have some Prime on the way.
The only item I might need would be a container of Safe for $7.95.

Didnt notice samples for sale. Did it say somewhere on his site that samples were available? Let me know, probably will order tomorrow.

 

[TerenceH]

Where am I going to pick up?

 

[Madness]

Portland... Shipping is cheaper.

 

[Madness]

Where ever. I can meet in Burien at APFP.

 

[TerenceH]

Works for me! I need to ask him a couple of questions so I will call him first thing in the morn.

 

[TerenceH]

1 each all in 1/2lb sizes

Ken's Premium Spirulina Garlic & Paprika Flake
Ken's Tropical Green Granule 1 mm
Ken's Premium Super Color Crumble #1

I hope it is enough.

Sounds good, that will be $12.

Anyone else, or anything else?

 

[TerenceH]

I am wondering if I should get 1lb sizes. Any advice?

 

[Madness]

I am wondering if I should get 1lb sizes. Any advice?

If i use the food as a regular staple, I got 1lb or more, if it is just to feed occasionally as a change of pace, I got 1/2lb. Plus, for my fish, I mix all the food together. Once in a while I will feed each one of the foods separately so that they dont get use to just one type in the mix.

 

[DMD123]

Ive seen the mix, actually looks pretty good. Tempted to reach right into the container and start munching on the stuff. ig:
