can pork meat be used for fish food?

Yep

one would think that much of the ignorance about piranhas would not be present on this forum..... but one would be wrong


anyway i completely diagree with Phillydog those ingredients ARE fillers. you fail to realise that when a carnvore consumes a herbivore all the nuitrients are broken down into their basic components inside the herbivore and so are bioavailable to the carnivore. a carnivore's digestive tract is not built for breaking down vegetables and wheats and so they end up just pooping them out

I think we have to agree to disagree.

I guess the nutritional consultant that I am will not allow me to not respond . . . I visit and consult with veterinarians, daily. That's how I earn a paycheck. Carnivores, herbivores and omnivores all need the 6 basic nutrients and can digestively break down all needed nutrients. If a carnivore can't get all 6 nutrients, it will cease to exist. Nature allows for this through the food chain. Those apex predators are receiving the same nutrients that the lowest creature on the food chain consumes. The digestive process is not instantaneous. It takes time for a creature to fully digest what it consumes. If a herbivore eats vegetation, and that same herbivore is consumed a few hours later, some of the nutrients are still available and the carnivore will benefit from consumption of the herbivore by collecting some of the nutrients that the herbivore has consumed. This is a basic law of nature. Carnivores do need ALL of the basic nutrients and collect them from the consumption of their prey. A herbivore eats vegetation, but many forms of vegetation contain a very minute amount of protein. For example, a kernel of corn has a very small percentage of protein. The majority of that kernel of corn is comprised of carbs. That herbivore eats vegetation but it needs some protein to live. The next time you visit your vet or your personal physician, ask.
