I used Eukanaba for years with my Oscars and Pacu's no problems except their growth rate I felt was a bit accelerated...Never bought fish pellets for them the LFS stock was too small in size.. I also used to have a pair of IRD's who loved Purina cat chow, tuna flavored. They would come to the top and almost literally take it out of my hand........all where very healthy. You have to get creative when your fish start to break the 8" mark....

Agreed. Dog Food pellets are like 2 times bigger then the biggest pellets i have seen at my LFS... Beside the wafers. So u dont have to give them as many

Well....the only real concern I would have would be WAY the food is made. Dog food is typically coated in fat and what not and I would imagine it mess up your water quality. Of course if you do huge frequent water changes like most of us on this site do...it might not really matter.

However if you are going to feed dog food, for the love of god don't use pedigree. That garbage should not be fed to DOGS much less fish. Nutro Ultra all the way baby.

Dog food is nutrious, then sprayed with fat and meaty flavorings.

iunno guys, the fat content seems to high to be fed to fish.

Pellets of dry dog food, called kibble, is primarily produced by one of two methods: extrusion and baking. During the extrusion process, cut dough or a mixture of raw materials is fed into an expander, while pressurized steam or hot water is added. When removed from the high pressure that results, the pellets puff like popcorn. The resultant kibble is allowed to dry, then sprayed with vitamins, grease, or any other ingredients that are not heat-tolerant.

They spray it in grease, they dont do that to fish food

 

[milkman407]

why not just make the food, and instead of grease add garlic, and vitamins.
