Foods with and without thiaminase

[RD.]

Yes, you would be good. All commercial pellets would contain B1.

IMHO - when in doubt supplement with B1 3-4 times a week. If feeding fresh/frozen, pre-soak in an aquatic based vitamin/mineral supplement that is known to contain B1. If feeding live, gut load the live feed immediately prior to feeding your fish. Or feed pellets a few times a week.

Oops my mistake in previous post, I put B2 instead of B1 as RD correctly mentions with regard to thiaminase issue.

Black cod does have thiaminase but haddock is ok.

I was referring to Atlantic Cod, which doesn't have thiaminase, but good point which highlights what it says on the site RD referred to:
"Take note that whether or not a fish contains thiaminase can differ even amongst different species of the same type or family of fish: for example, Pacific mackerel does contain thiaminase while Atlantic mackerel does not."

North American catfishes do contain thiaminase though right?
