redtailfool said:No its cool.. i just dont like how we only have feeder goldfish available as feeders here in the us. And minnows. Small tropicals rules as feeders!
aapl76 said:take it easy brudder....you have feeder goldfish, its better than none right?
redtailfool said:Actually none is better than goldfish . Goldfish and red rosies contains thiaminase
an enzyme or chemical compound that destroys vitamin B1. I would rather feed something pellets or shrimps than feeder that are high in fats and would rob your fish of vit b1.
aapl76 said:i fully agree with you...since there are no other alternatives, you may wish to add additional supplement for vit B1 if need to....
redtailfool said:Sorry to derail!
Yeah you can add but they are also known to contain parasites and other disease.Its really now worth it for regular feedings. I use it once in a while.
