Starting fish food company need help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Odor is tough. The fish keeper doesn't like it, but the fish does. Odor also means it's fresh, if it's supposedly filled with fish but has no fish smell, that's a little fishy

Exactly. I always get a kick out of people who complain about how a fish food smells, as though somehow a food that is supposed to be mostly derived from aquatic animals (fish, krill, shrimp, etc) should NOT stink. lol

Freeze dried krill is readily available, but most hobbyists only utilize these types of FD specialty foods as a treat. Shrimp, tilapia etc can be sourced by anyone, for relatively low cost, and fed fresh with full water content which makes it more palatable for fish.

You better have a better concept than what I'm reading thus far or you will be swallowed whole, and this is coming from someone that spent a decade working in the fish food industry. The fish food biz is almost super saturated as it is, so you better come up with something unique and exciting or save your money and invest in something wiser. Just my 2 cents ....
 
My suggestions to you would be to try and not re-invent the wheel if you know what I mean. There are already tons and tons of fish foods out there who are all basically accomplishing the same thing in only a slightly different way. You should try and do something unique. Try and be different and try to make something all your own. There is lots of steep competition out there and there are a variety of foods already provided by the industry. Best of luck and all the best.

I think you should make pellets that are shaped like little goldfish crackers. :goldfish:

Yeah kind of gimmicky but would set you apart from the others companies lame old pellets and sticks.
 
I really am not joking about shape. :goldfish: I just got in a food stick I wanted to try out and my fish just looked at me when I put it in the tank. They had no clue what to do with it. I threw some of their normal, round pellets in there and then it started to trigger their feeding. Fish shaped should motivate a predatory fish!
 
Ill try the fish shaped thing. I really appreciate the help guys if I figure out how to Make it that shape would anyone buy it( let's assume a decent price)?

As long as it is fish tested - nice to see a food with a twist. You would simply want to do what they do to goldfish crackers to make them that shape.

Don't make any claims until it is proven. Otherwise you'll get sued. Sad but true.
