Grand Sumo and Chingmix would be some of those foods. Noticed no difference in feeding Chingmix than Hikari.

2005-2009 when i used to breed flowerhorns pretty heavily i noticed that a mixture of the 3 diff hikari's gold/staple/and red would give off just as great colors and growth as the flowerhorn foods, and less pricey and no shipping. i noticed in your threads you have been heavily searching males out, which is a good start and i dont know how much the breeding game has changed genetic wise since ive been out of it, but imo a fertile grade a female is gonna be 1000% more important to any breeding program. i would actively search out females first before thinking about males. 99% percent of my nicer fish were from the nicer females. if your able to find a pearl'd out koky female than your male selection is pretty much up to you. the only time i ever went out and bought a whole bunch of males was when i already had a good breeding population of females and i just wanted fresh blood in the genes. i find its much harder to have males and try to find females for them, an un breed female has a good chance of killing your 1000$ males because they get pretty fiesty before breeding. its good to have a female have a couple of practice lays first with a fish u arnt heavily invested into. i wish you good luck in your breeding program, but i think buying a whole bunch of males is the wrong way to go about it. they are gonna age, you might lose some before you find a female with good genes, who is open to breeding.
