Want to vary my pbass diet some more. Any pros/cons to either of these? Is bio-gold "considered" better overall? Do they both sink? Which do your guys bass love? 
Hikari imput: Cichlid gold vs Bio-gold
- Thread starter michael
- Start date
I used to feed my Cichla several different pellets and sticks. Hikari Cichlid Gold, Kensfish earthworm, brine shrimp, cichlid sticks, NLS Xlrg pellets, Omega One Extra Large pellets, Omega One Algae wafers. I also fed cut fish almost daily and occasionally freeze dried krill.
I used cichlid Gold, it floats and my RTGG loves it. I've never tried the bio gold but from what I've heard, it reeeeallly speeds up growth rate.
my tems love both, bio-gold and gold.

The reason I switched over to Bio-Gold was that I thought that the increase in protein would help in growth.
Not coming out the way I thought it would but you get the point...I hope...
