| Dick, interesting comments. I have read that some breeder do feed rice. I haven't myself and when the breeders feed it is was a suppliment and not their total diet by any means, but it was a part of what they feed.
One comment on feeding koi and that is what the breeders feed in a mud pond as a supplement to their daily forage is quite a bit different as per requirements of the koi that we keep in liner or concrete closed systems.
In this case, I am a true believer that what the breeders feed their fish in a mud pond is NOT the best for us to feed in a closed system. I also think that they have different requirements trying to raise literally thousands of fish vs most of us with a doz or two fish.
Paul, Chris Neaves has posted some very good info on this board. I would search out and read some of his recent posts. |
