ok so i have been feeding my pictus cats this sinking shrimp pellets and then put extra tetra flakes when feeding so some of it falls to bottom and extra treats (insects) i put in sometimes for the fish that goes to the bottom, the pellets are now almost empty so i wanted to get your guys opinion on a good food to feed them for the main part of their diet as im not sure if these pellets are supposed to be fed as a staple (i think they are wardley shrimp pellets but not sure)

I recently got some of the wardley shrimp pellets to try out I've also been giving them these (http://www.aqueonproducts.com/products/bottom-feeder-tablets.htm) (they need to be broken up for my cats) but I may just switch to homemade foods soon.

wardley shrimp pellets are the only shrimp pellet I actually like..HBH aren't to bad either. You can also try some of the sinking cichlid pellets or "crumbles" My eclipse cats feeds almost exclusively offa flakes though..I also feed him Hikari sinking carnivour pellets which should be pictus size ( It has a RTC on the front), Ocean Nutritions "prime reef" is a favorite w/ all of my carnivors, It is a flake. I know alot of people also feed their cats market shrimp, frozen silverside,smelt, ect..
