I don't even know if we have Progold & HIkari here or not, right now I feed my fish NutraFin max.. is this comparable? I know they're floating pellets, but read one of Ssotek's posts that he puts them In water first & then squeezes them so that they'll sink - never tried so don't know if it works or not.
Is NutraFin Max as good a food as Progold & Hikari? Here are the ingredients:
Fish meal, corn flour, soy protein concentrate, soy flour, wheat flour, oat meal, P.D.P., fish liver meal, shrimp meal, fish oil, wheat gluten meal, cuttlefish meal, squid liver meal, laver aquatic plant, dried yeast, wheat germ meal, krill, amino acids, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin, lecithin, vanillin, citric acid, vitamin supplements.
Analysis: Min. crude protein: 34%, min. crude fat, 5%, max crude fiber, 3%, Max. moisture, 8% max. ash, 8%, min. phosphorus, 0.6%, phosphorus, 0.9%.
Please help? I have plenty of nutrafin max, I'm hoping it is as good, because it gets quite expensive.
Thanks

Hi Rap,
I looked on the ProGold bag and the protein is 40%, so a bit of a difference.
If you would like, I could send you a bit of ProGold in an envelope so you could see what you think?
If you want, you can write to me offlist.
BTW, I am in Canada, too.

Thanks Touchofsky!
Your offer is very generous. On the "food" forum someone was offering to chip in a bunch of canadians on her next purchase of progold, I have just pm'ed her to see if it was too late for me to chip in. If not, then maybe I can chip in too!
If it's too late, then by all means I would certainly appreciate a few pellets just to see if my fish will like it better...
Thanks again,
Rapunzelle
