Goldfish - The posion meat?!?

[Fried_fish]

Rosey reds have the same thiamase content as goldfish. I have never had a problem getting rbps to take pellets and catfish meat as a staple with the live foods as supplements.

Hey guppy can you send me the link on more infos about thiamase in goldfish I want to read up on it. I know they are in some fish. Do you think feeding b1 mixed with their food will help neutralize thiamase?

hello I'm from the philippines and have just checked that most of the feeder fish (gold fish and carps) here come from the same source and I think that the better option here is to use gold fish or carps than guppies becuase they catch most of the guppies here at our canals which is very polluted where as the source of the gold fish and carps are from breeders who sell these fishes cheaper becuase they are rejects from thier breeding.

I have a qeustion regarding feeding them beef heart or live mice(once in a while) is feeding beef heart a better option? although I don't have problem with my P's becuase they eat pellets.

Here is one link, you have to wade through a lot of sites to find info that is species specific while not being all chemical diagrams, http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Articles/Thiaminase.htm
