Re: feeding/diet

good deal.i know a guy that feeds his tropheus and petros that no-carb food.it has like 50% protein.i read up and they say that its not the protein that causes bloat but alot of carbs.still dont know if id feed my trophs and petros it.

Re: feeding/diet

yea im going the 100% flake route, I am battling the bloat battle and loosing more than i am winning. I have read so many threads where folks who feed pellets in general are treating bloat, and havent read that many of breeder/keepers who feed flakes. I was chatting with and guy who feeds 100% flakes and has never had any issues. Although i do know other here who feed pellets with no problems also. I just think in my case flakes would be better suitable for me, and my pocket book. Dead trophs dont breed and sure are not as happy as ones alive.

I don't keep many vegi-fish but I have been using HBH Natural Staple Flake (47% protein) for a few years and you can't beat the value.

Re: feeding/diet

i will to look into that. For the buck kensfish isnt bad but with shipping, that always makes me frown. So if i could find some close to that i would truely give it a shot. I have seen HBH in petco but not the forumla. I may just see who wants to go in on an group buy for next time.
