Anyone familiar with this feed? Is it comparable to Aquamax 500?

It looks like this was brought up before, albeit several years ago:

Here's a little more info on it but it doesn't give a full breakdown of ingredients:

If AM becomes harder to get than it already was/is, at $16.95 for a 50# bag I'd be interested in trying it if it's a viable option, as I just paid twice that yesterday buying out the AM my supplier had stocked up for me (from last Fall). $$$ OUCH!

I'm easily going through 80 lbs of AM 600 and 40 lbs of AM LMB per month so like others, I certainly hope for a positive outcome with Aquamax, but a viable less expensive option would also be welcome!




Good info. Thanks! I'll see if they have the little bites.. It's a pretty cheap gamble, just to see if they'll eat it..
That is, once I get some fish.. Hehe

I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
