I've bought my whole box from lfs at Jurong West st 52, cost me $14. Hv not compare prices from else where. Was it expensive

I think I bought 1 box of hikari from C328 for $14.. How much u pay for your hikari from another source?

IMO, FBW is FBW, maybe branding differences only. But maybe, just maybe Hikari one is fatter

It's the branding and QC of the product, I personally use hikari brand due to widely use, but wouldn't comment on other brands as i've not used them b4 yet, but it's ard the price, dont worry if u kena tok..

Oh.. I think you're talking about the no. of slabs inside one packet, yes the bigger one contains 32 slabs while the other contains 28 if I rmb correctly.. Of course more slabs cost more lui $ ka -ching

I bought 1 box of hikari FBW from c328 i think is $13.50 or $14.50, cannot remember. But if i did not remember wrongly, 1 slab is calculated to be a little less than $1.20

And yes there's a difference between hikari and other brands. I cant remember the brands of the "other brands" i have used, but the difference is when you defrost the cube, you will notice that hikari FBW Cube is a little smaller, but the worms are all red and fat

Whereas compared to "other brand" it seems their are of different size and the color is not as bright red as hikari, some even brown or black worms. Some white worms also.

So after i notice that, i used Hikari. I had a chance to see this because was keeping bettas last time and i defrost my cube to feed my bettas separately
