DanceswithDingoes Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Was in the LFS the other day and spotted some large (200g) tins of Sera Pond "Bio Flakes" for only $9. They contain the following:grain meal, wheat germ, fish protein, wheat protein, yeast and herbal oils, vitamins and colourants.crude protein 21.8%crude fat 2.8%crude fiber 2.2%moisture 6.2%Sera bioflakes contains nutritious ingredients, including wheat germ and vitamins for all pond fish. Because of its low protein, easy to digest composition, sera bioflakes is ideal for feeding during the hot summer months.My question is, would this flake be suitable as a staple for vegetarian fish like some Central Americans and African mbuna and tropheus? : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E4G13M4N Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 It looks to me its along the lines of those cheap tetra bits, cant remember the name Where they use wheat germ as its main ingredients which is just a filler, instead of useing Fish meal etc which has a higher vitamin source ..

DanceswithDingoes Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 So would that be harmfull to fish that require a low 'protein diet?' Like mbuna and vieja sp. They acknowledge the vitamin thing and give a spiel about all the vitamins they've added. Hmmm, the price is right and the fish seem to like it. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E4G13M4N Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 It wouldnt be harmfull Dances maybe not as nutritional, but with the wheat germ, would possibly give them a higher fibre diet and help them Poop a lot more :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 JasonUsing goldfish/pond flakes to cut Spirolina flakes for Tropheus and other vegetarian diet based fish is a combo that has been used for a while now and not only works with it's low protien base but also reduces the cost of using straight spirolina flake or Vegie flakes L2H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
