Switching from one pellet to another trick

[sevank21]

In my case I wanna switch my chicla from Massivore to NLS. Here's the trick/recipie. Now if you're a girl dog and scared to get your hands stinky than this is not for you. Or if you're a person who is lazy and don't want to put time into your Cichla to get them on a better AND cheaper pellet, again this is not for you.

Ingredients-

Massivore
NLS
Purified water

Supplies-

Blender/coffee grinder
Bowl
Tupperware

Steps-

Take a mixure of 50/50 NLS and Massivore pellets. Throw it into the blender/coffee grinder and grind it into a powder. Pour the pellet powder into a bowl and slowly add water. Mix it and kneed it into a playdoh like texture. Roll it into a big ball. If it's crumbly, add more water, if it's too wet and sticky add more pellet powder. Store it in the Tupperware with a wet papertowl beside it (make sure the ball doesn't touch the wet paper towel) and keep in fridge.

When it's time to feed. Take the ball, pull a small piece off and roll it between your index finger and thumb to form an actual pellet to desired size and feed.

If your Cichla still won't take it. Grind up more Massivore and mix it into the ball, you will probably need to add water. You could add garlic extract if still picky, you can also add vitachem.

Good luck!

That's a good idea. Why do you want to switch from massivore to nls? Is it that much better?

In a nut shell, NLS is better for your fish, better for ur wallet (its cheaper than mass and comes in bulk). Better for water quality WHICH adds to "better" for your fish.

That's good to know, thanks. I have 5 grow outs and have yet to get them started on pellets but I'll be sure to get them started on NLS instead of food sticks or mass. Which is the one you suggest?

I suggest you start off with 3mm sinking nls

Idk if you can say one pellet is better than the other without being a ichthyologist or animal nutritionist. I don't use Massivore but I hear you about nls being cheaper. Imo a varied diet is best.....to much of any protein is bad but then again Im not a ichthyologist or animal nutritionist either.

Do I need to be a nutritionist to know a lettuce wrap is better than a big Mac?

I guess the big Mac is supposed to prove the nutritional value of massivore
