Be real careful talking about dog/cat food here. People don't
flame in this group; however, some Koi owners are too proud
to feed their prize winner Puppy Chow.
Check yellow page under farm feed. A company called Purina
was recommanded on this group at price closer to dog/cat
food that is designed to feed fish.
Do add some vegitable, wheat etc to the fish/shrimp diet.
Not only safe money, give them some other source and keep
them from eating your plant, too.
