I'm buying AM 400 and Aquamax LM. My guy stocks Aquamax 400 and it's 45% protein 16% fat and runs $35.75/bag. The Aquamax LM is 45% protein and 10% fat, costs $26/bag and has to be ordered. GFC has to be ordered and costs $22/bag.
The following lists price per pound of protein contained in the feeds listed above:
Aquamax LM: $1.44
Gamefish Chow: $1.38
Aquamax 400: $1.59
(cost per bag/(Pounds of feed x % protein))
If my math is right Aquamax LM seems like a really good value compared to the other feeds listed. It seems strange that the Aquamax LM is more than 25% cheaper per pound of protein than the other two though. Are bigger pellets cheaper to make? am I missing something? Is my guy just giving me a really good price on the Aquamax LM or overcharging for the 400?
