How much do your big cats (catfish) eat in one sitting ? My red tail is two foot or just shy of it and he eats about a handful of massivore every third day or so and in between he eats other stuff. Just curious of how much massivore your guyse's fish can put down :D

Hawk and Animal,my two twelve inch Megaladoras urinoscopus cats could knock off a fistfull each.
 
I wanna know how you like the Massivore. I am having to order it. Hoping that gatf will like it. Hoplias sp. As well.
 
Personally I have tried many forms of pellets and many fish food brands (tetra and others) before getting into monster fish and haven't really liked them too much due to excessive water contamination or the fish not liking them. Since I've started to keep bigger and bigger fish like RTC and oscar cichlids I have only fed pellet types of food made by hikari and I've noticed excellent coloration. Massivore is literally like crack for fish they gulp it so quick it's not even funny. My RTC will sit with his mouth out of the water and open waiting for me to drop a handful in for him. This food made by hikari is by far the best and yes it's a little bit pricey but I see it no different than buying a dog or cat a good food brand like beniful or candidae over cheap generic brands. To me this food is the most liked the most less contaminating and to add it contains a lot of calories I will never look back on massivore as if I have made a bad decision so yes I love the product and yes your fish will like it just give it some time and you will realize your fish will go nuts for it !

I just switched from massivore to NLS 6mm. They make a 10mm. My megaladoris and Niger catfish love them! I've noticed major growth in the last few month's with my megas! And nls is half the price. Didn't even look back

Hikari, NLS, and Ken's are the top three on my list too (in that order) albeit I cannot afford to buy them in the quantities that would simplify my feeding efforts. So I use them only for small(ish) grow-outs. When fish get large, mine get mid-quality Zeigler's http://www.zeiglerfeed.com/html/aquaculture.htm as far as a staple pellet goes.

Can any one else list their favorite pellets and their reasoning?

I do use a limited amount of these cheapies (poor quality for carnivores, better for omni- and herbivores but still poor because of the terrestrial carbs, not aquatic carbs) http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...his-anyone-else-ever-try-it&highlight=pellets

This is an educational discussion - despite all the disagreements and "unpleasanties", there appears to be an agreement (at the face value) between Clay and RD that Clay's carnivore pellets with egg whites as a binder are superb: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=38692

What I'd really like is to hear the opinions of everyone but especially our Indian colleagues on the "scampi feed" pellets available in India, like these (see the lower third of the first page): http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37166&hilit=+scampi

Do you see the ingredient list? It is next to perfect! Balaji (aka Shovelnose on PCF) tells us they make these pellets anywhere from ~50% up to 95% (!!!) in aquatic protein.

PIPE DREAM: MFK-ers could all chip-in and get a ship-load/plane-load of these over here? :) :)
