Hormone effecting FOODS! Check this.

I was in contact with a breeder of FH from Thailand. So I asked him what food he gives his FH to make them so beautiful..and he goes XO pellets...and he wanted to sell some to me.

My FH is reaching 3.5 inches, and I need to move to pellets... So I was thinking of buying Hikari Bio-Gold and Growth from AUSTRALIA, or Grand Sumo Red and Growth (mixing it up with shrimp, chicken, etc)

So i heard SO MUCH good stuff about XO pellets, and since they are banned in Australia, I did some research.

Apparantly fish food like XO are BANNED from Aus for a reason. They AFFECT the hormone of the Flowerhorn, causing it, more like FORCING it to change and show artificial colors.

I really hope, Hikari and Grand Sumo do not have this crap, I do not care if my FH is not the best looking FH around, but im not gonna affect its HEALTH for my own benefit.
 
This issue is not new. It has been also done with gouramis and discus. Glad you researched first before you buy this stuff.
 
^^ yes, this site has really opened my mind up, i might be keeping fish for like 2 months, but watching the topics, im not gonna just go buy some food that has no manufacturer name on it.

However, I am going for Grand Sumo and Hikari, since they both are in USA and Australia. And Grand Sumo has high price though
 
its not an issue. he was upfront with u. its fine.
