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...

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...

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?

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

Yep, I haven't had a problem with GroBest before Orcy... these bags were definitely made overseas though...

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.
