I bought a 5lb bucket of this stuff on ebay for $44 and it arrived in the mail today. I have always fed the regular 5lb for cichlids I didn't even know NLS made food this big or I would have been feeding it a long time ago. Has anybody ever tried this stuff?

I was given a tub of this stuff a couple of months ago by a very generous wholesaler in exchange for feedback. (Thanks, Neil! 
)
Most of my bigger fish eat it eagerly. It's a very hard pellet, so mid size fish who would normally grind up bigger pellets may not take to this one.

I see them all over in my LFS. Works as good as any NLS out there, no difference. Gets a little tougher on the side compare to the smaller NLS sizes where it just breaks right away. 
Gerry, you crazy Canuck - that was the 10mm Mega Fish formula that you have been using. The OP is referring to the 7.5mm (floating) Extra Large Fish formula.
NLS makes pellets from 150 micron, to 10mm.

ZOMG!! *Gasp*
My apologies to everyone on this thread.
Alright well since I couldn't find any good pictures or info about the food online I decided to take some pictures of the containers. I am comparing "NLS Jumbo Fish Formula 4.5mm" with "NLS EX LG Fish Formula 7.5mm"The only difference I noticed in the ingredients is that the larger pellet has 1% higher protein level, and the ash content says 9% compared to .9% in the smaller formula. Misprint? I don't know..
