Good morning bros
I cannot help but join in this feeding frenzy and I’m not surprised by the overwhelming response and attention given to this topic.Which food,what form and how often are our critical questions cracking our brains out to pacify our insatiable craving for the correct nutritional requirement of our beloved pets.Ultimately there is no conclusive answers but rather controversial,yet confusing feedbacks are the mainstays.
My question is to find an optimal diet not an adequate one.Then what is an optimal diet?
Solid !
Like fries, we utilised bbs, daphnia, watever small, tiny, high nutrition value to make them grow. As they grow bigger, these tiny food become difficult for them to hunt around and worst unable to fill their stomach. Commercial food become the next best thing to use, be it worms or processed dried food.
Our local keepers are pampered by the varieties our local importers brought in. Instead of becoming a good thing, it can turn aweful. We are so comfortable with these commercial food that has printed on wonderful nutrition composition.
Doesn't one wonder how the chinese produce by millions, export by millions yet, what food are they using to create our choice of fish in our home. Or maybe the Japanese or even the Thais which have their own choice of food. Economically, it will be unwise for them to use such expensive dried food. So what did they used instead ? Don't tell me their food not good leh. Maybe it's not variable for us to produce it at home.
Do human also have an optimum diet ? Neh ... unless I going for Olympic 2008. I still want my bowl of laksa. It's dynamic, one meal chicken rice, another lor mee, maybe go for a nice steak .... problem - we control what we eat, we eat when we need.
Fish ? Human controls what these creatures eat, they eat when human (or machines) feed.
Food is only a small factor in fish keeping.
