Cecil, my fish act the same when I forego hydration. What worries me, is the fact that I'm about to start in on the last of my Skretting feed...(have been feeding AQ)...ever try and hydrate Skretting? It becomes almost like rubber balls....doesn't want to even crumble up when wet.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
