B.Platynemum on Dried !!

Post by Redtailrob »

My B.Platynemum is now taking Mascivore pellets!! :D :D
How good is that?
Have had for 4 months and until this week has only ever excepted Live river shrimp & Earthworms.
Still wont take defrost prawns, mussels, squid etc but not fussed now it's on Mascivore, what a terrific food that is, surely one of the best if not the best on the market?

Knew I would wean the fish eventually onto dried but no idea it would be so soon.
Happy Days.

Hi Victor / all

Here's a link if that helps?

Superb food, cant rate it highly enough.
Too expensive & too small to feed in any quantity but fantastic for growing on small predatory cats that are difficult to feed.
My Yarrelli, Platynemum & Jurense all adore these pellets.
I still only feed 2-3 times a week however as a) its bloody expensive & b) my fish GROW so fast when fed the stuff.
