Am I the only one who actually likes the smell of fish flakes?

Lol, while I confess to occasionally enjoying one of my pup's Milkbones when the dog and I grew up together, I never felt the desire to try fish food. But I don't find it as offensive-smelling as many others seem to. The odour of Hikari Massivore is often referred to with disgust, but I can't say it particularly bothers me. I find Hikari frozen plankton a bit revolting.

Truth to tell...I find the aroma of freeze-dried Tubifex to be...a little intriguing. Not saying I want to try it, but...it's a little like standing at the edge of a cliff. You don't actually want to jump...but a part of you sorta wonders what it would be like...:nilly:

I also have a half-tub of Sera sturgeon pellets; too cheap to throw 'em away...too worried about their high fat content to use them more than sparingly. I toss a small handful into the hole when ice fishing to act as chum...and when I get a whiff I always wish for some Frank's Red Hot sauce.

I put that s**t on everything! :)

Same here. I don't necessarily like it. I just find it intriguing...
 
Well, I'm going to completely freak you all out!

I LOVE the smell of fish food, the whole lot, flakes, pellets, wafers, everything. I love the smell of freshly chopped worms too, they give off an unmistakable aroma. It drives the fish mad and I can certainly understand why.

But the best smell by far is one I've only recently discovered, within the past 12 months or so, and that is NLS pellets. Not only the best from a nutritional perspective, but also from a smelling one too.

Well i haven't smelled flakes in years but i partially agree with esoxlucius, the nls cichlid formula i kinda like the smell, a bit like cut grass, algaemax is nuetral to me, not bad, a little woody and plenty of greens. But the thera+ i try not to smell, definitely not my scent.

And I'll admit like a couple others i tried kitty food and a dog biscuit as a kid, both on dares.
 
DRP (discus-ram-pleco) pellets are crazy smelly. When I feed drp all you can smell is krill for the next couple of hours.

My not a fish o lee food smells like garlic.
