i've search "puppy chow" but didnt really come up with much info.. maybe you can direct me to the right thread

[eklikewhoa]

you guess is as good as mine... I hardly pay much attention to where I post so I wouldn't know. I think they are all in the troph club sub-forum though if anything cause most of the discussion was done there.

[cu0ngsayz]

so what i've read its not dog food. ahhaha might be wrong but it says they sell them at ultimate. its just a high protein food or something

[eklikewhoa]

puppy chow is the same thing, ingredients aren't that different and puppy chow's quality is probably gonna be better.

My neighbor feeds his oscars puppy chow and these things are enough to feed one asian family.

[cu0ngsayz]

so just crush up the puppy chow and feed to your fish like fish food? correct?

[sunkenmetal]

small breed puppy food should be small enough LOL

[johnnytrinh]

watch all your fish be floating tomorrow haha

[cu0ngsayz]

That's why imma test your fish first.

Trophs are pretty resilient, I've put all mine through hell and back and to this day I haven't seen or been able to observe a bloated troph.

My old Ilangis tore up a hotdog before and it got to the point I was feeding them anything just to see them eat. They were being power fed and I think up to 30x a day to equal about 1cup of food a day for 90 fish.

what was your old setup? they must have had a lot of swim space and circulation..

[eklikewhoa]

125g
2x mp40w (on high Lagoon setting)
2x 2262 (filled with bio-media only)
pro-clear300 w/ Mag12
3x250MH + 4x96wPC (running on "noon burst" photo-period)
4x eheim feeders maxed out on settings.

[cu0ngsayz]

DAMN 4 feeders?!?!? yea and thats a lot of flow... people say if you wanna feed them high protein must keep them active

[eklikewhoa]

As long as their metabolism is going they can eat. In the would no one tells them to stop eating and the surf is mean there

[New_Cichlid11]

that is my dream set up when my colony grows. just got to get some mp40 lol

[eklikewhoa]

I'm in the process of duplicating the set up but will be adding a ReefKeeperElite controller to better monitor parameters and equipment.
