Sinking Pellets in the UK

[George Thompson]

I've finally found some sinking pellets for my goldfish

They contain:

Ingredients

Wheat, Fish Meal, Soya, Fish Oil, Wheatgerm, Bran, Spirulina,
Astaxanthin, Canthaxanthin & EU Permitted Colourants & Antioxidants.

They contain:

37% protein, Oil 7%, Ash 10%, Fibre 2.5%

Vitamins per KG:
A 4000iu, D 2000iu, E 140mg, Stabilised C 300mg

A few Q's:

Are these suitable for my Oranda? Can I also feed these to my Shubunkin
& Goldfish? Is it safe for my catfish? I don't think I have a choice :0)

the higher the protein, the LESS YOU GOTTA FEED EM.

I dont know if you ever had a big dog.... fed em that cheap dog food full of corn and
other carbohydrates that resulted in those big huge steaming dumps, but when we
switched to high protein food for our dogs the dumps were like 1/4 of the size. Same
applies to GF. they got short intestines more like carnivores ... shorter in
relation to their body length than humans. they eat tiny amounts all day long and
the stuff they eat is WET water based critters and greens. GF cannot digest complex
carbohydrates so all that stuff goes in one end and out the other. Even feeding
large amounts of really good stuff just moves it thru the intestines out the other
end without digesting completely. In the meantime it is causing all kinds of
digestive upset including "swim bladder" or floating.
It is hard for us to imagine how little we need to feed our fish to be healthy, but
Jo Ann used to feed 3-4 sinking pellets per huge, big round 7" fish, and that is body
only, not tail. she fed this 2X per day and the fish grew!!!
