Regarding the new 10mm "Mega-Fish Formula" of NLS and the pellets being rock hard, it's actually probably a good thing. The fish will actually swallow it rather than crushing it up so half of its spews out of its gills. It should be a cleaner way to feed the monster species than wafers, floaters, and Massivore.
Hikari vs. NLS

Yes, for some people the hardness of the new 10mm pellets will be considered a positive, for others a negative. Either way, you won't find New Life adding extra wheat into the mix due to global warming. 
Wow, I hadnt been on MFk in a while and I see that this thread has blown up hahaha. Ive been using Hikari though for the most part and its been working out great for me. I like the Bio-Gold best but I use Massivore as well here and there. I got some NLS (the floating type) and my fish doesnt seem to like it as much, ussually eats a pellet or two and then starts spitting em out and leaving them.
Got quite the necromancer here, eh? lolcrazy clowntang;4507130; said:Hikari kicks NLS in the. NLS, Overpriced, overhyped, same results
I'm not sure what world you live in, but here 5lb's of NLS costs the same as 2lb's of Hikari.
NLS = half the price, for twice the nutrient value.
NLS = No cornflakes, soybean meal, "mystery starches", rice, dried bakery products, or MSG.

Well i have never bought the stuff in bulk. But at the lfs NLS is too pricey. I have tried NLS and my fish don't care for it. They go crazy for hikari, so what ever you say about "mystery ingredients" it doesn't matter to the fish cuz it makes them happy, colorful and fat

Clearly a detailed and scientific report with lots of merit. Thank you for your contribution.
Fat is most clearly a sign of good health. Yeah, I'm healthy!
For what it's worth I had posted in another thread about how my fish would not eat NLS, now the whole tank will gladly eat NLS by itself or mixed with other pellets. Just took two weeks of withholding other food.
NLS is the ****. I use it for all my fish, used to use Hikari. I find it messier than Hikari but worth the mess because I know whats in the food...... That and I like the container better hahaha
