The water in hikari brings the protein down, by dry weight both mysis are high in protein but freshwater contains more hufa. I personally feed aquatreasures because its more affordable and easier to access. Have noticed no difference between pe and aqauT exept pe is bit smaller.

One of the biggest benefits of Larry's food is the variety you get. While my fish ate Hikari frozen foods, they go nuts for Fish Frenzy.

hums, what kind if camera are you using in these shots? I like the crosshatch and bandits.

Good call on not getting rid if that bigger clarion, it is stunning, especially with those bandits in the background.

the larger one has kept her facial coloring better than the smaller one..

Hey not trying to hijack the thread of anything, im just wondering what do all of you guys think of rod's food. i feed all my fish the fish only blend and my predators get the predator blend. Im not sure if the fish only blend is the best for my other fish, tang, cardinal, starry blenny, and foxface.
