Oh and be careful...the lil buggers can train you to jump when they want fed. And they want to be fed EVERY time you pass the tank, little gluttons! lol!

All of mine know what it means when I shake the food can...hell they even see the can and they swarm to me like ravenous beasts!

NLS is a bit pricey but such good quality I find it lasts much longer than other pellets I've used in the past

I don't see any one feed their flowerhorn with flake, what is wrong with flake? I feed my flowerhorn, and discus with flake, and they seems love it.

Flake food tend to lack in nutrition. Once it soaks in water, it starts to release its nutrition right away in the water. Plus they are very messy if they don't get eaten.

Flake food doesn't lack in nutrition, unless it's a nutritionally lacking flake food. The same could be said about pellets. Having said that, flake food does lose water soluble vitamins very quickly once they enter your tank water, and flakes simply are not enough to sustain a large fish, no matter the species, unless you are feeding it by the handful.

Pellets are typically more nutrient dense, and more stable in water.
