Posted a thread about this food maybe a year ago...price is good but its a bit messy and clouds the water during feedings. Readily accepted by all my monsters cats/bass/gar/pacu/turtles. By all means a great/cheap staple filler food if you dont mind the mess. I used one bag and ended up giving the rest to a friend with an outdoor pond i have a few natives in as its not very nutritional. I now use kens brand floating cichlid pellets for the same size pellet and better nutritional value with less mess. kens is more money of course but a better product. id also recommend throwing a tarp or two over that stock pool liner or even a 45mil epdm. only a matter of time before one of those pacu chews through. i have the same pool from summer escapes and the liners are very thin. the intex pools have a bit thicker liner...ive ran those also and still used a 45mil epdm overtop.
Thought about epdm but I hate that its all black. I have a rubbermade 300g stock bin for emergency and patches on deck. I'll take my chances. Mfk will be first to know when things go south. I should buy another pool to keep on the side lines.
As for the food, I've been hearing good things about kens. I'll have to try it. I know we all wish hikari made a 40lb monster staple, even if it was $100 I would have to have it.
