I picked up two 10 lb bags of Ichabon for the GF and koi. It was $74
for the 20 lbs. I'm curious to see what difference this food makes. Of
course the fish love it, but they love the cheap stuff, kitty and puppy
chow as well.


You feed your fish dogfood?

You should not give Fish food that you feed your husband.

Over the years there has been a lot of discussion of food. Lots of us
(including us) use catfish food. about $12 for 50#. The fish seem to do
well with it (9 years of growth.)

=============================
I've also been using catfish, trout, puppy and kitty chow - mixed together.
This is the 1st time I bought such expensive food in years. I want to see
if it's true that you feed less and get less feces/mulm in the pond. So far
they're consuming about the same amount of the expensive food that they were
the cheap food. The filter-pads are clogging just as fast.....
