I have over 65 golds in my pond ranging in size from 1.5" to 10". I am going through my flake food faster than I can afford. (I am working on thinning out the population.) But until, is there a internet site that sells bulk flakes cheaper than the 6 oz. can I buy at nooppee for over $5? Or is there some other type of food that is cheap that both small and large con consume?

I found this site that sells 5 lb buckets of flake food on sale right now for $51.95.

Here it is:

i think pelet food is cheaper and you dont have as much waste and dont have to feed as much IMO

Wow, so many mouths to feed! If you are looking for a bit higher quality pellet food instead of the flakes, you can try Hai Feng foods, they come in all kinds of varieties - wheat germ, color enhancers, growth food,.....
I am sure Hai Feng has its own website, but thats all I came up with right now....

A lot of pond fish keepers swear by that food, and I feed it to mine as well....smile.gif

Hikari also makes a great food that is good for the warmer months called Staple. You can get it for around $5 a pound if you get a few pounds of it.
