D&S Aquatics, they are a vendor here, ran by Pharaoh and Mike Dunagan.

You don't have to attack other vendor just because you are promoting NLS. I got what you are trying to say. NLS is the best. My fish should just eat one kind of food for their life. I should feel guilty of feeding them anything other than NLS. By doing so I am not a good fish owner as I am risking their life and they can die prematurely.

Wow, some people sure get defensive, even when I offer what I thought was a money saving alternative. How is leading fishguts to the direct source for the food that he is most likely already feeding (or at least very similiar in nutrient value) an attack on another vendor? Ken doesn't make fish food, he buys it in bulk from feed mills like Zeigler & private labels it under his own name - with what I would imagine is a significant mark up in price. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but that's not an attack Omega, that's a fact. From your comments you don't get what I am saying at all.


Fishguts - you could always split it with a few friends, but that's your call.
I only mentioned it as cost seemed to be a big factor with you. If you are happy feeding/paying what you currently are, then by all means carry on.

ya ill give them a call during buissness ours as i go through alot of it. my cichlids get fed the kens for the staple and get market shrimp 3 times a week. i think i will pick up one of those bigger name brands and see if they crave it more then what im giving them now. ill check dunagen. thanks

I have kept tanks for 30 years. ran 2 fish stores for a total of 20 years in retail. I have fed every fish you can buy..every food you can by. Well others here are well verse in nutrients and ingreedients I speak from experince. There is not better food for the retail store or basement fish store than NLS. Even better supplemented with HBH spirulina pellets and frozen treats. Proof is the pudding and in this case the label. Hikari has too much fillers. That's my opinion.

I have yet to try NLS, but Hikari has done great things for my fish. I use Cichlid Gold for my FM tank, and Staple for my Tex and RBP. Their colors have turned out great and they seem to be growing quite well. Like I said, I haven't used NLS, so I can't comment on which is better, but I know that Hikari works well.

You can mix up their diet by giving them both...I give my fish a variety of dried and frozen food

Both are good - great but I do the same thing with my dogs,cats,birds,lizards, goats, and chickens.....Variety! As long as it's good change things up or they will get spoiled and won't try new food unless you starve em.
