So, other than maybe to save money... Why would you
rish the health of the fish??
Well, lets see... Lets take a fish food, TetraFin Five Star Formula:
Wheat Starch, Fish Meal, Screened Cracked Corn, Cracklings, Dried Potato Products, Soybean Oil, Shrimp Meal, Torula Dried Yeast, Wheat Germ Meal, Monobasic Calcium Phosphate, Algae Meal, Lecithin, Artificial Colour, Ethoxyquin as Preservative.
Where the heck do fish eat any of that in the wild, anways? But compare it to cat food (which would have the fish component in it):
Chicken Meal, Ground Yellow Corn, Lamb Meal, Corn Gluten Meal, Poultry Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Ascorbic Acid), Ground Whole Wheat, Dried Brewers Yeast, Fish Meal, Corn Germ Meal, Salt, Dried Beet Pulp, Dehydrated Cheese
A lot of it is the same stuff... both have fish meal, both have, wheat and corn meal... seems like it would be fairly compatable.
