Recommended Pellet?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I personally do not feed pellets to my fish AT ALL (I used to, but stopped years ago). I just don't feel comfortable feeding them pellets, I sometimes over think myself of how much crap they put in pellets. Why not feed real food? It's a bit pricey but worth it.

I feed my cichlids red wigglers, meal worms, blood worms, wax worms, earthworms, beetles, crickets, flies, moths, spiders, roaches, market shrimp, scallops, squid, tilapia, and sometimes guppies.

Not to mention I gut load the insects with carrots, rasberries, and kiwi. From my experience my fish got SOOO much more color when they were fed this then pellets.



But, if I had to choose one pellet brand to feed to my cichlids it would be NLS for sure.

Not to be rude, but you must have a rather short memory?

I'm only pointing this out as I recalled a few of your recent posts, where you most certainly listed pellets on your fishes menu. Here's one of them.

My dovii is 3 inches.

He gets fed 3 times a day.

1) NLS and cichlid gold pellets.
2) Frozen Blood worms, market shrimp, and brine shrimp.
3) Anything I find outside like spiders, worms, and ect.

In another recent discussion you were complaining because a pair of convicts that you had purchased wouldn't eat pellets. Ring any bells?

Hmmmmmm.

While I certainly have no problem with those that feed their fish live/frozen foods, I personally feel that as a staple diet, a quality pellet offers a far more nutrient balanced meal. I've also yet to see a poorly colored fish that eats a premium pellet food as it staple, and there are hundreds of examples of those cichlids on MFK.
 
Fish loved it, they were a little confused at first since I had been feeding floating pellets. I fed them when I got home and in about 20-30 minutes my Flowerhorn colored up better than I've ever seen them. He/she was very dull in color since I've had them.

LOL and yet he said no pellets "AT ALL" and that he used to feed pellets but "stopped years ago"...but his dovii eats NLS posted a month ago...

Nice catch Neil, I personally learned from you how nutritionally balanced NLS is and how much more beneficial it is when fed exclusively than any other brand and/or live food.
