Very interesting!
When I was at Sakai's place this past October and January, all he was feeding was pellet foods. I did notice that in January, the pellets had been moistened but not too soft. I observed him feeding all fish from tosai to Oyagoi with these pellets. I really can't imagine a breeder taking the time to feed paste food every day to several thousand fish. Time is money and this just takes too much time. By the way, did he send you food or recommend any particular brand that he uses?
