I have up until now used the BYA bags of food, which are excellent but would love to know of any sources of larger quantities to soften the cost a tad. 10kg bays would be excellent. But being a novice I don't want to feed the fish dodgey stuff. Skretting seem to be available only for way down south, is there a local supplier in the metro area? Swan Valley has some from a brand called Pondmax that sell in 10kg quantities. http://www.fishandlily.com.au/in_store/ ... nics_food/ Aquatec in Forrestdale stock Aquapro & Pondax in 10-20kg bags. http://www.aquatecequipment.com/fish-food-c-20_67.html Have you guys used any of these or recommend another that can be locally sourced. |

AquaPro & Pondmax... are aquaria brand products... usually pumps/filters etc... They are very probably just rebagging commercial feeds.... from who knows where... And at $69 for a 10kg bag... not very cheap either...  The first link suggests a feed for Barramundi, Trout etc.... at 40% protein... which seems a little low for those species... |
