I have no doubt that there are thousands of people who feed XO Humpy Head, but that doesn't equate to it being used by all breeders, resellers, and local hobbyists in Thailand, no matter what you think that you may know. When was the last time that you personally visted some of these farms, or breeders in Thailand?
Regardless of what they do or do not feed in Thailand, it's a piss poor choice of food for a FH, masterpiece or not.

I doubt that large commercial farms would feed XO humpy head, I reckon most would feed their fishes commercial pellets used for the fish industry as these are cheaper alternatives
I have told by a 2 breeders from thailand, as they use bloodworms and adult artemia mainly. But some of the breeders can use pellets not XO as it is costly but okiko head up huncher as alternative brand.
Shortly I agree that all of the "miracle" foods can not be healty for any kind of fish.

Fish will go crazy for it, there is something about that garlic flavor that fish can not resist

There is no argument that Ocean Free is a very popular FH food in SE Asia.
That doesn't mean that anyone in their right mind should be feeding a fish classified as an omnivore 60% protein, at any stage of their life. I'm not knocking the quality of all of their various FH formulas (I counted 8 different formulas), just the one mentioned in this discussion as it clearly has an excessive amount of protein in it. I don't have ingredient listings or guaranteed analysis for their various other so called specialty FH foods, so I can't comment on them.
Ocean Free is popular due to the mass marketing by the corporation that sells their products, Qian Hu Corp. This is a major publicly held company that answers to shareholders, not the general public. They sell thousands of both aquatic & non aquatic pet products, fish food is only a small portion of the companies overall business, but their food is very well promoted, and very accessible to anyone living in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China, and more recently the UK. If the LFS gets a major discount for in store use, along the lines of what Hagen & other large companies offer retail stores, and these stores sell these products, then of course they are going to promote it, and recommend it to anyone that walks through their door. And not just 1 formula, but 3 or 4 formulas for maximum color, shine, and large humpy head. Puhleeese.
Seriously, how many people on this forum actually buy into the need to feed their FH 8 different FH formulas in order to get optimum results?
Also, how many people here condone the dying, tattooing, and physical manipulation of fish sold in the hobby, such as the fish shown below.
Apparently the owners of Ocean Free (Qian Hu) have no issue with it.
Qian Hu is in the business of selling anything that can be sold, to which they have done a remarkable job over the past decade. They are also in partnership with Alife, Hai Feng, and scores of other companies.
Their Mission Statement pretty much says it all. (creating shareholder value)
"We want to create shareholders' value by becoming a world class ornamental fish and accessories company through innovative and quality products and services "

I just started feeding NLS as i switched from Hikari due to quality of ingredients and it is also more affordable if you buy the 5lb bucket! Definately the best deal in fish nutrition! Still feeding a mix till I run out of Hikari and don't get me wrong my fish look great on Hikari, more reason to upgrade them to the best I can find!
