I try and give them a variety. Various types of frozen foods a few times a week. Hiraki Gold pellets. Omega shrimp pellets. Algae pellets. New Life Spectrum pellets.

Kills them?! He has been on pellets since he was 1". I be sure not to over feed, but he has always eaten them. I also understand they are prone to dying when really young due to immune problems, but he is as healthy as ever!

A large percentage of them have digestive problems that doesn't allow them to digest pellets properly, yours appears to not have this
