Seeing you posted this a month ago and still haven't got a reply I would think it would be better to call that little number that they have next to questions or comments? yes? don't answer that
I posted this here as I assumed that was the point of this sub forum.
If for whatever reason Hikari refuses to respond, then I guess the members here can draw their own conclusion.
It don't take a peanut to see that you are not going to get your answer by asking on this forum. How about seraching your own answer like I have just done for you
Wow a peanut can do that.
protein and starch bind together to make a firm though soft pellets, this character prevents dissolving the pellets while feeding.
If I thought that you could personally answer my question about this specific product, I would have saved all this typing & just asked you.
I know what starch is used for in fish food, thanks. Wheat flour (the 4th ingredient listed by weight in Massivore) could do everything that you just posted, and then some.
So instead of cluttering this thread up further with your links from Hikari, if you can't answer the 2 direct questions that I posed, then please start your own discussion.
Where does it say it is being used in their diet(or in this case for)?
It is used so they can eat a pellet instead of powder.
That is like picking up a bottle of vitamins and asking why it has Stannos Chloride in it and asking what effects it has on my body.
But anyway good luck on finding your answer.
