Anyone hear of this feed? Someone is offering to sell 3mm floating for $8/kg.

Is the feed and price ok?

The feed is fine... $8/kg isn't cheap... but probably average for small quantities...

Hey Rupert i still have about 10-15kg of the floating trout feed, if i crush them up would it be ok for the silvers?

For Silver Perch... GroBest... but they'll happily eat the Ridley's...

Actually, I should qualify that... I've always used GroBest for my Perch feed by preference... and they'll sell small quantities of bags... whereas Ridley's wont do less than a pallet...

But the last few bags of GroBest have been made in "Malayasia"... and have been quite dusty... and have coloured the water a bit...

I actually wrote to Grobest and complained... never heard back...

We use skretting for all fish.

Post subject:  Re: Grow Best brand silver feed?
Hmmm ok thanks Rupert. How much do you sell the whole bags for? How big are they?

How much are the skrettings per bag/kg?

SILVER/JADE FEED 20KG
$53.00 +gst

Hmmm $8/kg is a bit on the expensive side lol (i know there is markup and shipping but it wouldnt be that much)

I have a heap of 7mm left over from my trout season and am crushing it up for the SP and they seem to like it.

I just picked up a bag of grobest silver perch for 55bucks and around 20 next day delivery in brisbane metro. bargain. and the fish love it.

Rupert, i'll be interested to see if this lot is powdery like your last lot. the first bag I got this time last year was brilliant

Post subject:  Re: Grow Best brand silver feed?
Yep, I haven't had a problem with GroBest before Orcy... these bags were definitely made overseas though...

Rupe, i just looked, and this bag is from indonesia... i'll let you know when I open it how it goes.

seems like they might just get whatever they can, whenever they can.

Post subject:  Re: Grow Best brand silver feed?
Actually, thinking about it... the bags I had might have been made in "Indonesia"... rather than Malaysia...

I just got some Growbest delivered today and it was made in China, all other bags I had received previously had been made in Indonesia.
