In 20kg bags You could try Glen Forrest Stockfeeds or better yet contact Stirling Bulk Distributors in Tenterden and get it sent to you.

If you want floating pellets then Stirling Bulk or Cheidys is the go. Glen Forrest only do a sinking Silver Perch pellet with a low 20% protein content which isnt enough for Trout and Barra. Glen Forrest feed is pretty poor quality and I wouldnt really recommend it to be used in Aquaponics systems.

Do you know if any of those mentioned are the same as the brown trout pellets that are sold at woodvale? Would you recommend Cheidys to be better.

Both places just buy the Skretting feed (dark brown colour) from Stirling Bulk in Tenterden and then put it into smaller bags to sell. A bag bought direct from Stirling Bulk will probably cost you less than $3kg but then you have to add freight onto it. I guess it depends on how much feed your using to which way you go as buying from Stirling direct will mean you will have to buy 20 or 25kg bags, though I have heard that they have smaller lots of some sizes at times.

You used to be able to get a 20kg Post Pack label from Australia Post for $20, if that's still available pretty good value for a bag.

Thanks guys, I rang stirling bulk distributors today and they do the postage for $30 or can be picked up from forestfield for a lot cheaper

They have the nova and spectra feed available is one of those the Skretting you mentioned Troutman?

Both are Skretting products.

Thanks guys I have a 20kg bag now should last quite a while and save heaps
