I don't quite understand your question...do you want the ingrediants of flake food?

Yes please.

okay the flakes I have has: fish meal, ground brown rice, dried yeast, shrimp meal, oat meal, wheat gluten, soybean oil, fish oil, corn gluten, algea meal, protein, vitamin C, and a bunch of essential essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids (it would take me an hour to type them all in).

WHEwwwwww That took awhile, So I hope that helps you with what you wanted to know, Yes I have some time on my hands, Can you tell.....LOL
HECK, Don't ask me what half of those ingrediants even are...I only know the ovious ones...

I read somewhere (i think arofanatics.com's forum) that fish meal is anything of a fish except the flesh, so its scales, fins, bones, etc.

A lot of flake food contains useless bulking agents such as ash.
For instance im using the best food on the uk market for tropicals and its listed as
46% protein,12% oil, 3% fibre, 11% ash, 8% moisture. So 19% is made up of stuff the fish cant even eat. So add that up and that gives you 80%, so what makes up the other 20%? Fresh air probably lol.
You are better feeding home made gel foods at least you know whats going in that.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
