I wonder about this too. som eplecos are less picky, but royals i find to be pickier with their diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 You get what you pay for IMO. Digestibility of the protein has direct correlations with health and longevity so I only feed JBL and fresh foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 They could be anything - unbranded, unsealed. Could even be trout pellets. I feed JBL too No waste, no mess and I know they won't contaminate the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Another vote for JBL. JBL is the only brand I use for dried foods. My plecs have always seemed to like the Novo Pleco tabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 JBL for me as well, everything else is hard to trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redracer77 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I have been using Hikari for a while now, plecs eat it quite fast and have been growing well. Just wondering about a change or variety. I will get some JBL next time I'm at the lfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aer0 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 im feeding my 001 plec those AHT's... the guy selling them is a friend of mine. He breeds bristle nose off the same pallets and has no issues with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyGeoff Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 JBL, mmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 It is hard to deviate from well known brands to relatively in my opinion, unproven brands. HIkari, Jbl - both are extremely well known and the quality control is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I use a bag of tablets I bought from Henward a year ago that I can't remember what they actually are...They're green. Feeding a handful every two days or so and I'm still only 2/3 through. I'm a fan of cheap food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be handy to know about these bulk buys as I don't think the pet shops in my area stock JBL food :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 It would be handy to know about these bulk buys as I don't think the pet shops in my area stock JBL food :-? rules: no bulk buys here. so sorry, its a tough one. but, I fully encourage supporting the local LFS because they help us in the hobby. reputable shops will ship nation wide for a good price. However, I use more food than most and so cannot afford to buy from retailers. Ebay is also your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aer0 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 of note, my LFS stocks AHT frozen misis shrimp, these are what I feed in my marine tank so some LFS will sell AHT maybe not all products though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
