Kens Fish Food For Oscar Fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I recently switched my fish over to NLS.
If you compare what you are paying for the Hikari at your LFS, compared to ordering NLS, you will see the NLS will come out cheaper.
I was feeding Jumbo Carnisticks to the Oscar. 20 bucks for a 182gram bag. The NLS was 22 bucks for 350gram bottle. So that's nearly double the amount for 2 bucks more.
I was feeding 3mm sinking Hikari gold to the JDs. I was getting 100gram bags for 7 bucks. The NLS was 14 bucks but I got 250grams
And I also got flakes for all my dithers. I was feeding them Omega One, super color flakes. They cost 7 bucks for 28grams. I got 90 grams for 14 bucks.
So you can see the NLS works out to be cheaper for more food, that is better for them.
The JDs and dithers switched right over no fuss at all. Toni tho is a different story (my Oscar) she won't eat it yet, so I switched her back to the sticks till she is finished growing, I hate starving her to try and get her to eat the NLS while she is still a growing fish.
 
I was using Ken's medicated food with garlic and metro and it makes the water really cloudy. The fish seemed to enjoy the food. Not sure if the regular food does this though.

The Hikari Gold medium sinking pellets cost $17 per a 2.2 lb bag. It is available on Kens Fish website as well as on Ebay.

I will buy some NLS just to see if the growth and coloring of the fish.

Why are you using medicated food when your fish is not sick?

I just bought a bag of this NorthFin jumbo pellets. Let's see if it will boost my fish growth and color.

It's odd that I couldn't add staff to my shopping cart at YourFishStuff. I was going to buy some of their home made pellets. Oh well....maybe next time.

I've only been feeding it for a few months. My oscar is less than a year old but he's fat and happy. He's not a picky eater though. It smells VERY shrimpy
