ally07 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Marine biologist but you are indeed correct, as I mentioned, it was a broad generalisation. :thup: lol! I went through both my posts looking for the word "stuff" before I got the joke. Not so smart after all! :smln: But yeah I get what you mean about the variety. I give my fish pellets as a staple so that they get their basics and treat them with extras like bloodworm, prawn mince, mealworms, tadpoles, feeder goldfish...

beachy Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 That is what I used to do, but got tired of cold fingers and SWMBO didn't like me using her cheese grater...
