Whoaaaa Hikari is not that cheap in States after all (even after sale)... ay ay, and everybody is using pellets? holy moly

 

[polish]

I do not feed only pellets, they are part of a varying diet but I do include them since they are a good staple.

I just meant that pellets are not that cheap in States as i thought ...ouch. Basslover's or Necro's food bill must really be stupendous ^^

You're telling me, not much is cheap here anymore. Prices on everything seems to have slowly gone up.

I don't even want to know what the food bills run for those with dozens of hungry monsters. My one is plenty.

Cool thanks for the heads up

What's the advantage of the massivore pellets over sinking cichlid gold?

 

[polish]

In just looking it has a few % more protein, not sure what else is different.

 

[blurock]

So your spending twice as much for a tad more protein that you could supplement with silversides, shrimp, or fish fillets?

Just wondering cause I feed the sinking cichlid gold and silversides, shrimp, and fish fillets. And my guys seem to be doing great. I never bought Massivore because its so expensive, and doesn't seem like it offers that much more, but maybe im missing something...

With your diet it likely makes no difference but people who feed only one thing or rarely do other stuff aside from the staple pellet I think it would be better to stick with the Carnivore/Massivore pellets.

I just compared all the other stuff in the analysis and it has way more added Vitamins as well. 2-3x more added in the Massivore. As I said with the other stuff you feed it likely makes no difference but there is a reason people use it as a staple and I'd say it is likely because of all the increased vitamins and slightly additional protein.

Massivore.
