Can I feed my fish this dog food?

Dog food is specialized for dogs not fish, if you spend a lot on that why dont you get hikari foods?

I've read a few of your past arguments on dog food but all of those foods contained chicken or beef as the main protein source. This dog food contains neither, fish is the only protein source. That's why I made this thread, this dog food contains the same ingredients as any other fish food but with a slightly lower protein percentage.

i would rather still go with food made for fish unless it is a fish like goldfish that use a lower protein diet (mine on 27%) and 16% fat??? my fish food is between 2 and 3%
for the wellbeing of you fish i suggest normal fish food even if dog food is more convenient

Looking through the ingredients I would stick with fish food, looks like it has a lot of potato as fillers and a high fat content compared with hikari for example

Most half decent dog food brands will cost around a dollar a pound so imagine if a fifty pound bag of massavore was priced that way.Hikari would go out of business lol!

my fish food is fairly cheap so my goldfish dont eat me out of house and home. TBH i would rather spend the money on a mix of good pellets and fresh/frozen then just hikari

That sounds like a great way to go about feeding your fish.
