Do they live in California? :)
i don't know about you guys but I get paranoid whenever I see the label I get paranoid and end up buying a product without the label. I wish they would be more specific on the label than scaring consumers.

"This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer."

Damn near everything in our world can cause health issues, if the exposure rate is high enough.

There is an old saying among nutritionists; the difference between a nutrient, a drug, and a toxin, is typically the dosage.

thats an interesting saying. most people are super paranoid nowadays, one person here was super worried about the extremely low amount of electromagnetic radiation the tank equipment put out. its barely anything past half a meter

I think pellets is safe in my experience. There is less chance of introducing organisms/viruses/bacterias into the tank causing disease. Take a look at the natives in Africa getting crazy disease from eating monkey.

Polyaddict86 Polyaddict86 , Where are you picking up your anchovies from? Local Asian food market?

I have been using silversides but mega expensive to get these pet store frozen foods. Last batch I bought because I had a decent pet store coupon otherwise its been tilapia with an occasional bit of raw shrimp.
