How do I go about getting foods in bulk?

[señor_pescados_felices]

My fish eat a $20 container of NLS EX.LG. pellets, $20 container of NLS Thera sinking pellets, $15 bag of Hikari Cichlid Gold, $15 bag of Hikari carnivore and $20 bag of Hikari Massivore about every 3 weeks.(all mixed together in a larger container)

If any of these foods are available in bulk I would very much appreciate a pointer as to where they may be obtained.

also something's fishy in cleveland has 5lb buckets nls for around 60 shipped
it's also h20 cafe or something
another option which i am looking at is to buy from something like the salmon hatchery supply places
i'm looking to switch from nls grwoth to salmon crumbel for my angelfish

Try contacing Hikari persoanlly to see if you can order foods cheaper than the LFS.

Ah,thanks for the tips,and the idea,I may look into the fish hatchery thing.
(the largest hatchery in the United States is 15 minutes away from where I live.)

OMFG! What hatchery!? You must be able to easily grab food from them, no?

That fish place has sinking shrimp pellets for about 8 bucks a pound.

Coleman National Fish Hatchery, but do you figure they would be willing to work something out with a stranger off the street,so to speak?

Can only try I guess....

Shrimp pellets for $8 a lb. sounds like a good deal as a filler,but I'm not sure how they stack up against the other brands as far as total nutritional value...

Check www.aquaticeco.com. They are primarily an aquaculture supply place.
