Does anyone here buy fish food from Kensfish.com?

[jclyde13]

I usually use Hikari Cichlid Gold Large to feed my silver aro, pacu, and bala sharks, but I'm thinking about switching to Kens Premium Floating Pellets 5.0mm since it's a lot cheaper, but I've never used it before, so I was wondering if anyone here has used it (or does use it) and could share their experience with it. I basically just would like to know which is better.

I was going to, but the few I looked at sucked ingredient wise.

I just wanted to know how it compares to cichlid gold, whether it is a good quality food in general, and any other comments about it.

I use them for all my fish food. Great service, excellent bulk prices fast shippin. My catfish love the 9.5 aqua stable pellets.

Wow, I wouldn't touch that with a 30 foot pole,lol
That's one of the foods I saw from them. I us Omega one myself and have heard great things about NLS foods (never tried them)
But yeah, those ingredients scare me.

Kensfish does not state ash levels either, at least with taht food....
