Massivore and carnivore pellets?

I would guess a combination of ingredients plus the strong odor attractant...my fish will literally shoot across the tank when they smell it. The more they eat the more they'll grow for sure...my jumbo parrots can easily scarf down 10 medium pellets a pop as can my baby O (who would explode if I let him). I generally put a cap on the feedings, they can't seem to get enough!
High protein high fat promotes growth in fish. 47% and 5% are minimum, not typical analysis. I once read the typical analysis of crude fat for massivore was close to 10%. So safe to assume typical analysis would be more along the lines of 50% protein/10% fat. Pretty nutrient dense for any adult fish, let alone those that spend most of their day laying around.
Increased palatability (taste/texture) equates to increased consumption. IMO far too many obese fish in this hobby, feed sparingly if choosing this diet, or one similar, for fish that aren't on the move 24/7.

The Hikari website and amazon shows that massivore/carnivore is now 5% fat not sure which is the updated version. Although to be honest the soybean meal has me concerned I don’t know if everyone who uses them are okay with it.
