Just wondering what did it cost you for the 2 pound bag? it's worked wonders for my TSN, he's gone from 4 inches to 9.5 inches in a month and a half

How is this a good deal. These pellets are a rip off. Yeah, they are really good but 50 bucks plus shipping for a 2.2lb bag! How much is a 50lb bag of dog food? Like 20-30 bucks. I can get a 2lbs of fresh market shrimp for 6 bucks. Why are these pellets so expensive? I think it's a good product as I have used it but it's way too expensive. Total price gouging big time here by Hikari.

EDIT : Was grouchy earlier and said something snobbish..
What i meant was this was a good deal judging on the MSRP of the food. You are looking at it
on the dollar value of the product itself. Two totally different things.

jay... i hope you dont feed your fish dog food....
For me i want the convenience and what is best for my fish... and of course try something new...
althou hikari is a bit expensive but you cant compare that to dog food? with that thinking wouldn't hikari, NFS and other gone out of biz by now...
2 pound of shrimp = 2 pounds of pellets?
you forgot the % of water in the shrimp... wonder how much 2 pound of "Freeze Dried Shrimp" will run? lets not forget the vitamins and nutrients in these pellets...example on jehmco.com
Frozen Krill, (sp. E. superba), 2 kilo. (~4.4 LBS.) $20
Freeze Dried Krill 2 kgs (4.4 LBS) (not screened) $90
i do have 5 gallon bucket worth farm trout pellets... they are extremely cheap but i dont think they are suitable for home use... not only they cloud up the water.. they make your water oily also....
but it still up to the fishkeeper... to feed what he/she think what is good for the fish...
