Read about Thiamine Deficiency that is caused in fish by feeding feeders.

Supplement- something added to supply a deficiency.

So no, it's not the same thing. Feeders are not supplying anything except thiamine blocker, which is ADDING to the deficiency.

in case you didn't read me correctly...
I said sometimes no nutrition at all is filling...
AKA-sometimes eating something that isn't the healthiest for you doesn't kill you...
In case you have ever ate mcdonalds, or taco bell once in your life...Did you DIE from said food?...no...you didn't because you wouldn't be on this website..you were filled from it, and lived to fight another day...
Feeder fish have no nutritional value, (which is why i used mcdonalds which also has none). HOWEVER, feeding them it occasionally will not create a blockage...

Feeders are one of the main causes to hole in the head.

Feeders are advised against for most fish because of this reason.

Eating mcdonalds would be like feeding your fish an algae wafer. It's not doing anything for your fish, but it's not taking away anything either.

Feeders block/take away thiamine away from the fish, which is not a good thing.
 
mcdonalds is one of the main causes for obesity and type 2 diabetes in the US imo.
however, it is satisfying when you eat it.
 
I used to feed feeders(but that was when i was a noob to the hobby) till i learned about what them goldfish and guppies carried ,parasites Etc and yes thiamine deficiency.Now i feed my pacu straight Cucumber,lettuce,grapes and it loves carrots and algae wafers, and pellets.It is now pushing 20-23inch

Statistics for this fact?

A fish is not eating the live fish because it's "filling".. it's eating it because that is what comes natural to the fish.

Put hamburger in front of a dog, and he's going to eat it because it's what comes natural.

dont need facts lol...its common sense...
but 20 feeder fish in the tank, ...the fish wont eat all of them...it will eat until it is satisfied...
but 20 lbs of hamburger in front of a dog...it still only eats until its satisfied...
otherwise both animals would eat until they exploded...
