Alternative feeds?

[jprp]

Is anyone aware of any feed pellets intended for vegetarian animals eg rabbit pellets that could be used as a low cost substitute for algae wafers?

Note: i generally feed mine a mix of sinking fish pellets, actual veg and prawns/mussel etc so don't come in "flaming", just wondering if anyone has tried this.

What brand of algae wafers are you using?

Over here at mfk we encourage new ideas and thoughts and yours is certainly an interesting one bud.

I haven't used any in years, i have mainly used various sinking (general) catfish pellets but also trout pellets and am currently in the process of switching to bloodworm pellets (so feeding a mix of the last trout pellets and the new bloodworm) alongside regular wet food and salad items-currently we have a lot of home grown lettuce.

Rabbit pellets are generally sourced from terrestrial vegetation, often alfalfa - so not a good option for fish.

More on that subject in this past discussion.
