Massivore? Sinking carnivore pellets?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Massivore is just a bigger version of the carnivore pellets. Massivore is great for adding size to fish but it's probably not the best long term pellet. I use it because my fish love it and If i insist on them eating pellets, i might as well feed what they like. That being said, I feed small nls pellets to my smaller grow outs

x2 the difference between the two as stated is that massivore is bigger and carnivore is smaller but they're the same food. I like both because imo I get faster growth with them compared to some other foods I've tried.......but I want to try xtreme because it seems like a cheaper alternative.
 
ime RTC's are easy to get to eat anything... that being said I waited until mine was large enough to eat the massivore whole to bother... plenty of other sinking pellets that are smaller you can offer in the meantime. a small bag of the carnivore pellets or sinking NLS will be plenty until he's big enough to handle larger pellets... i couldn't get threw a can of NLS before my guy was big enough to take the next size up. alot of peopel swear by one pellet or another.. but personally I feed as big a variety as I can. I do check labels ect to make sure its a decent quality to feed in general but so far NLS,Massivore, Omega are part of my cupboard of pellets ect... and I buy lots of fresh fish thats on sale from the grocery store. Lately I've been cutting off the "fish's" portion when we cook up some salmon, ect. I also feed nightcrawlers to my tank, and when we go fishing keep the heads ect of what we clean and any extras ect go into the "fish pile" I bag and freeze 1-2 feedings worth at a time to make it easy and efficent...though i'm almost to the point i need to thaw 2 bags lately.

I found this "tactic" to feeding large fish easy and effective both economically and health wise. pellets aren't cheap, and feeding a big fish a bag of pellets a week is immensely more expensive then supplimenting the pellets with whole/fillets fish.

You may think 'm crazy atm.. but when your trying to feed the equivelent of a medium sized dog... you'll appreciate a stash of cheap/healthy foods in your freezer as much as the more expensive mineral and vitamin filled pellets.

I just bought Massivore for my fish, although the pellets are a little big, they seemed to love it. As soon as it hit the water they were all going crazy for it, although it sinks very fast and they weren't able to get it all before it sank. Will they eat it off the bottom since they didn't catch it before it sank?
