Anyone else feeding Purina Aquamax to their fishes?

Most foods are awesome compared to Wardley! When times are tough, you get what you can afford.

ha Wardley...If you want to camouflage your fish, just drop a handful of Wardley shrimp pellets in the tank...

In my view, the company Wardley is comparable to Tetra when supplying fish food.

They both get two thumbs down in my book. But I guess it depends on the type and size of fish that you are feeding. I keep large-growing cichlids and those two brands just don't cut it. I have to feed them much better pellets as their staple diet. My growouts do like Tetra Crisps though (a part of a diet of other brands). But once they gain size the crisps are gone.

My point is that 45% protein, 10% fat, and 3% fiber is a tropical fish diet. The Purina food that I feed has that.

Hikari Massivore has about the same amount of protein, fat, and fiber.

I understand what you are saying but you can't judge the quality of food so simply. Tetra,Omega, NLS, Hikari; all of these brands will have some ingredients in common but the ratios and the sources of the ingredients will differ. I say feed what ever you like and what you can afford. Just know that there are some differences in certain brands that go deeper than just percentages. Some of the differences can cause your fish to grow large and look healthy from the outside, but inside they may have internal damage that may lessen their lifespan or cause sudden health problems. But like I said before, feed what you like. Everybody has there own personal preferences and brands for feeding their fish. I like the foods that have worked well for me just as you do.

Yea, I am not arguing or anything. I probably know Purina Aquamax that I am feeding is probably a lower quality food. I am feeding this based on costs.

Just wanted to know, if someone else is feeding Purina Aquamax also.

Feather meal is a cheap azz low quality source of protein, that is used in low cost low quality cheap azz farm feeds.

Not judging, just sayin ........
