I would just keep tossing in hot dogs,since he lived this long and looks good. I feed Dog food to bigger cichlids for years with no problem,even gravy chunks food rinsed. Im not saying its the best food source but they pick it over pellets and krill.. The only foods i had problems with were LFS recomended feeder goldfish.

What the heck is a rinsed gravy food chunk?:ROFL: :nilly: :ROFL: a dissovable gravy chunk from the dog food hahaha:ROFL: come on guys let's get real just go out purchase a hikari brand food and feed the fish a proper food.
 
Guys guys It's all cool. it's not me. I don't have any azuls for sale..LOL. And I never think I have all my **** together. I only know one guy in NV that keep pbass and I hope that you're not refering to who I think you are. I saw pics of his collection and the bass look in good health and have great coloration.

True hot dogs may not be the healthiest food out there but I only feed that once a week for a varied diet. I mean I have not seen anything bad come out of feeding from it. Let's see, My pbass are growing, healthy and have spawned, and on top off that they don't look obese and any cichla that I have taken in with HITH is actually recovering from it.

I first heard about feeding turkey hot dogs to fish from Ted (Anythingfish), it was working well for him and thought I'd give it a shot. Seems to be working well for me so far.
 
dont buy the fish unless he just feeds them hot dogs as a joke once in a long while.(what kind of meat is in a hot dog?)
 
in the past my oscars and redtail loved hot dog treats. as long as it's placed in with a weekly rotational diet, and the pieces of hot dog aren't big enough to have to break apart, it's all good.

his fish are well healthy. ^
 
Regardless of any possible heath issues, but still considering the fact that they are processed warm blooded meat, they are expensive. Especially turkey dogs. It seems like for the price someone could get something more healthy to use as a treat.
 
I don't know where you buy your turkey dogs but here in Cali they are about a buck a metric ton... They also have a far more favorable saturated fat content than beef hotdogs do.

This guy is correct ... IMO to ask questions about some fish he might be buying. I use checken...duck...beef...and even pork heart...on occasion for the bigger fish but normally they get fresh...or fresh frozen foods. It's wrong to condem a practice that's working well without giving the keeper a chance to explain. I've yet to see anything that recomends hot dogs as the main part of a Pbass diet.

That said...I can tell you from feeding a raw meat diet to wolves and dogs that WHAT they WILL eat has no relationship what so ever with what they SHOULD be eating... I doubt fish are any differant....so the argument "but they LIKE it" dosn't quite fly IMO.
 
Well guys thanks very much on the opinions i got on this the gentlemen who i was going to get these from has check out the post no problem i have not a thing to hide i told him i was going to ask some opinions on this well he has flip out gotten down right nasty over this an wont sell them to me! i was just wanted some input on it i didnt want to hurt anyones feelings i guess i did
sorry that was not the reason for this.says im the one who is an ass for asking, well that kind of stuff oh well probly a good thing anyway he says im a dumbass for asking for asking peoples thoughts on the subject here is a guy who has crammed is fish into a 300gal first aquarium i have seen thats
residentuly challenged, really if fish dont have room to fart let alone have proper space an im a dumbass oh well , thanks all for input appreciate it.
 
Don't worry about it man. I agree, that we shouldn't really condemn the practice, but also, just because they like it, doesn't mean they should eat it. I also don't think anyone really slammed anyone for feeding it.

And in the southeast, there's no way to get turkey dogs for less than $1 for 8 of them. Which is way less than 1 lb.
