Grand Sumo

[bornaries]

Hi,
i recently purchased my batch of baby synspilum and was wondering of feeding them little bits of Grand Sumo food as a supplement. Since Grand Sumo is meant for flowerhorns was feeling a bit doubtful about feeding them to natural sweet cichlids as synspilum.
Are any of you offering Grand Sumo to any natural cichlids ?

Grand Sumo is just overpriced cichlid food. I personally wouldn't waste my money on it, but seeing as you already have no harm in using it as a supplement to your other food.

Right.

You don't know jack about grand sumo so stop acting like u know. Rd is a bias hater. Bring ur nls brand up instead of try pulling a better brand down. Nls is crap compared to grand sumo.

I fed grand sumo before and other foods for 10 yrs. Gs is one of the best along with hikari foods.

I have to say grand sumo red, definitely made a difference in the color of mammons that I had. However with that said I don't think the regular blend will make a difference compared to another hi quality pellet.

GS Red is jacked up with astaxanthin, most likely synthetic astaxanthin such as Carophyll Pink/Red, which is quite common with Asian made fish food. No big deal getting a fish more red. But as far as overall fish food quality vs cost per ounce, it's no different than any other decent quality brand, and IMO certainly not worth the price point difference. Majority of fish food is already very high priced, the specialty Flowerhorn foods just took that to a whole nuther level of ridiculousness. Not just GS, ALL of them!

Any idiot that defends that, well ......

Yep it is loaded astaxanthin, I'm not sure how the nutrients stack against any good brand though as I only fed it to my mammons. I recall it being a tad higher in protein, but again Id agree it is not any more nutrient loaded than any other decent brand. To the OP I doubt there would be any harm feeding it to your fish in fact from what I recall it's pretty decent. Though again unless you're trying to enhance the natural red colors like gs red will do, I'd save the money and go with another brand.
