I noticed yesterday that TSC is stocking a Sportsman Choice; 32% Protein, 4% Fat, (Mins), and Max of 7/5% fiber. Naturally it would be more convenient I thought I'd ask and see if anyone is currently using this product and see what they thought of it? Thoughts?

AM spoils them. aka Pond Doctor & Dr. Perca Read Pond Boss Magazine - America's Journal of Pond Management
