Re: [GSAS-Member] Free fish food, or trade

["A JACOBSON" <amjacobson52@msn.com>]

Cottonseed oil causes sterility in men?  Cottonseed oil is canola oil, and that 
is everywhere and touted as very healthy!

Are you sure of your facts?  Is there anyplace I can read up on the hazards of 
cottonseed oil?

  Matt,
  I absolutely agree with you that homemade food is best for fish and 
  other animals including people. I'm sure there are a lot of byproducts 
  in fish food. I noticed cottonseed meal. That causes sterility in human 
  men. Since humans are genetically very similar to fish, it could not be 
  good for our scaley friends. I got a good recipe for homemade fish food 
  from Susan. I'll be trying that as soon as I have a little extra time. 
  In the meanwhile, I'm trying to find a food the fish like, AND that 
  will hopefully work in an automatic feeder, in case I need to use one 
  sometime.


  New Life Spectrum large fish formula is a slowly sinking pellet that 
  fish tend to really love. It also enhances the yellows and reds, 
  guaranteed. I feed quite a bit of it.

  Barbie, where can I get that food?

  Betty, thank you for your tips. My plectostamus's did NOT seem to like 
  the Wardley sinking algae tablets, so I'm currently trying the Hikari, 
  and will try the Tetra ones you recommend, which I ordered today.

  Sandy, I'll be happy to give you the Hikari Cichlid Excel. I'll just 
  keep a bit, and store it in the freezer, to try for future fish I might 
  get. Are you going to the next GSAS meeting?

  Thank you for all of your responses. That should save me quite a bit of 
  time and money experimenting. By the way, all of my fish seem to love 
  bloodworms. Regarding earthworms, do we need to worry about any 
  diseases if we feed worms from our yard to our fish?
  John
