[impala_man2003]

i saw this stuff in a nursery today in the pond section has any one tried this stuff before. i am looking for a more cost efficient way to feed my fish. i have over 30 tanks now with more fish then i can count. i only bought a lb of it to do a growth comparison on some fry I have. it say it is good for all fresh water predatory fish.

Has a bad connotation in some corners. Can't honestly say I personally know much about it. My first question would be what are the ingredients?

It didn't taste very good.

Back in the day, it was called "Trout Chow" (if this is the same stuff).

If I recall, Trout Chow has a lot of protein but is quite oily and doesn't have any of the color enhancers found in some fish foods. It also smells..

What are the ingredients and nutrition breakdown?

From what I can tell, Purina doesn't list the ingredients. Here's a link to the "product sheet":

I'd stay far away.

Honestly, given the contents of their cat and dog "chow" I wouldn't feed Purina products to any of my animals, not even my fish.

I used to live near a Purina 'Chow' factory.....when the winds shifted and we were downwind.....well, it's a scent I'll never forget.

32% protein is really, really low
