I know pellets are a lot healthier and safer than live, but I was also wondering if fish grow faster on pellets as well. Seems like they should given all the nutrients inside of them.
Hybrid, again, your statement is quite broad and opinionated. A lot of companies conduct experiments to ensure the proper food formula is developed to enhance the coloration and body development of the fish. Just because a food company created pellets to fit the dietary needs of the fish, it doesn't mean they support laziness accordingly. Your opinion on this is unfounded.hybridtheoryd16;3203814; said:pellets are not healthier or safer than a proper feeder fish. And the only reason pellets are sold by the billions is to support lazyness. Lets face it if feeders fish were free and easy to obtain year around and they were easy to keep healthy and disease free, the entire prepared fish food market would crash and burn. But they are not. They will become sick and diseased with out proper care. They cost on average more than a pellet or flake. And you have to take care of them, unlike a can of pellets that you set on a shelf.
You are so opinionated about this it's gone past being funny. On top of that, your statement is extremely flawed, and quite frankly absurd.hybridtheoryd16;3203814; said:pellets are not healthier or safer than a proper feeder fish.

That's your opinion, and again, I disagree.Lets face it if feeders fish were free and easy to obtain year around and they were easy to keep healthy and disease free, the entire prepared fish food market would crash and burn. But they are not. They will become sick and diseased with out proper care.
to get off the which is healthier battle a bit i've seen firsthand that fish grow faster live/frozen foods than they do on pellets/flakes.Languistic;3203677; said:but I was also wondering if fish grow faster on pellets as well. Seems like they should given all the nutrients inside of them.
I've seen the same with my oscars. I feed frozen, live and pellets for a balanced diet. but this is mainly because I don't want to breed insects to feed them which would be part of their natural diet along with smaller fish and whatever crustatiosn they could get their mouths around.snyder810;3204143; said:to get off the which is healthier battle a bit i've seen firsthand that fish grow faster live/frozen foods than they do on pellets/flakes.
