I am currently using "Game Fish Chow: as a supplement to feeding my angels and discus and apistos. The apistos seem a little more particular and don't show the feeding frenzy I get with the other fish. It is really cheap, but can also be pretty messy. It breaks up into a fine dust if not consumed quickly. I only use it on bare bottom tanks now. If I remember right it does not have any more protien or fat than regular dry food. I don't understand the getting fat comment. I have yet to see any fish become fat from eating dry prepared food. Live food like white worms, yeah I can see that. But Dry? Someone enlighten me on the fat issue please. Tim -----Original Message----- From: owner-apisto@admin.listbox.com [mailto:owner-apisto@admin.listbox.com]On Behalf Of Gustavo E.

It is very good for big cichlids like Nimbochromis, Blue acara and green terror. Sometimes I mix beef heart with oat meal to add some fiber to his diet. Until now I have no sterile fish. Try and tell me how it works for you... Regards Gustavo E. Medrano Argencard S.A. Peru 143 -2° piso (1067) Cap.Fed.
