Effects Of Market Prawns On Goldfish, Splitted from 1347 Options

Please read earlier posts.

Is there any scientific proof that the fish can take in all the nutrients in the pellets?

BTW, im not going for patent or whatsoever, this is just a trial and im just sharing my experiences. Im just having fun!!!

To put it in an amatuer way, if there's no proof that fish can take in the nutrients in pellets, I don't see why pellets are so preferred over so many other types of "things that goldfishes eat". They will eat almost anything edible.

I am just curious how is the result to this trial. Care to update on the fish now? Have you been feeding prawn to this fish exclusively?

I do not think any hobbyists have any scientific proof to say that any particular kind of food is the best for the fish. Perhaps pellet manufacturer has proof- but is it really that important for hobbyist?

I guess pellet is common cos it is cheap, easy to store, provide general nutrients and even can be fed through auto feeder-how convenient!

For your 2nd paragraph, pls start reading from page one.

I don't know about you but it is of course important for serious hobbyists. I, for one, am very particular on what I feed my fishes. I have personally visited some Thai and Jap masters and feeding is one part which I paid most attention to. Prawn is never a sole food for goldfishes. It is only part of (maybe less than 5%) a complete fish diet. Pellets on the other hand are more all-rounded. Maybe you can see the wens grow a little over a period of one month, but the fish will miss out on other vitamins. It is like a person knowing vitamin C is good for himself and keep taking only that and he miss out on other vitamins.

Benefits of live frog and prawn is but housewives' tales to serious hobbyists of goldfish for a long time.

Maybe you can share which master breeder you have visited? It will give us a better idea of your statement.

For the sack of experiment, the fish has been fed on solely prawns. Prawn is not the sole diet on a regular basis.

No one is saying pellet is bad or no good. I agreed there are all rounded food but can anyone proof that it is suitable for every fish??? I showed result that this particular fish of mine has very very slow development when taking pellet. You might not agree with me and that is fine- anyway i dun sell prawn kekeke!!!

Btw, which non-serious hobbyist would cut up the prawn into small bits and defrost it before feeding??? Kekeke!!!

If one never try, whatever housewife tales will remain so.

Have fun!!!

I do not know much about prawns, but what I do know is that some whale species feed solely on Krill. Just look how big it gets.

I think not always true. "Ranchu Lord" for one sells for 4 times the price of "Hikari" and maybe 10 times the price of some cheaper brands.

I agree. JRL is premium pellet food.

But it is still cheaper than Market prawn ... I can safely presume that.
