Hey, Can I substitute Hikari Carnivore Sinking Pellets for meats and shrimps? I usually feed my albino senegal bichir with it and when it gets too full he chews up the remaining pieces and my gold nugget pleco seems to enjoy the scraps.
I use carrots because they last a long time in the water without fouling it and my plecos are a nice deep orange color because of it. The only food I know of with more beta carotene than carrots is spinach. De-hydrated spinach is one of the ingredients in my home made Captain Bob's Sink or Swim "Frenzy" fish food.
