Greenlipped mussel

[Tobiassorensen]

As my fish grows bigger and bigger and keeps adding in numbers with my wallet and impulscontrol hates me its not economicaly doable too feed northfin as a staple diet anymore. I buys 6-7kg of pellets a month and complements with mussels, herring, alaska pollock and shrimps so ive been looking on alternatives and is thinking of starting to feed with either sturgeon pellets or greenlipped mussel and bloodwormpellets. Ive found some sellers on ebay that sells 20kg for the price of 3kg northfin pellets. Is here anybody here that has experience with greenlipped mussel pellets? Pros and cons

Sturgeon pellets are designed for a species of fish that utilizes far more lipids (fatty acids) than the vast majority of fish kept in captivity. They are typically very high in crude fat content, far too high for most tropical fish to consume on a regular basis. The potential end result of that type of diet will typically be oversized/obese fish, with a heavy deposition of fat in & around the organs, and a decreased lifespan.

Yeah i know. Thats why im thinking of buying greenmussel pellets. But iv read somewhere they are high on omega3. But only 8% crude fat.

I guess that depends on the formula, they won't all be the same. Without the guaranteed analysis and ingredient list hard to say what you are referring to.

First 4 ingredients listed by dry weight; wheat, corn, barley, and soy. LAST ingredient listed; green lipped mussel.

These pellets are designed for feeding to, and attracting, carp.

My experience has been that when buying feed for your animals, you typically get what you pay for.

Remember that commercial where the old lady would shout out - "Show Me The Meat!"

That's me. I don't see any ingredients listed for that formula, just a lot of talk. Talk is cheap - show me the meat!
