don't want to read it ...Summarize it for us

Premium foods use as little as 20% (or less) binding agent, while lower quality foods can be as high as 60% (or more) of middling and flour

Binders (like wheat flour) and animal by-products are the key word .
Once I see those two I stay away from those food fish

If you don't like his food and cAn't afford it don't buy it. Why bash the products there's lots of fish hobbyists that like his feed and had great success withit and don't mind paying the extra .50

Subject: Re: Kens fish food. 6/2/2010, 10:52 am

all i am saying it look at the label. it maybe worth a little extra money to feed your fish something different. since the price has come up near the other brands.

See what you did David? crazy

On a positive note: we need to feed our pets healthy food. Something that would mimic their natural diet. Feeding fish aimal by products is not natural and along with other binders that are not meant for tropical fish.

He probley has a good reason for the price raise. Some cost for him might have went up somewhere. I will still buy his food for .50cents more.
