Is there any reason why pallet should be main feed?

I know most Japanese uses bloodworm as the main diet, that's why I follow such way.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Kitsilano,

Thanks.

Well, it is something once start and can't stop. Ranchu doesn't come with a handbrake....

Cheers.

Well, I suppose it represents a more balanced diet to the fish and may be the better choice over BW-only diets, although with BW-only diets, I suppose the fish can be pumped up rather fast. One would also have to consider water management between the 2 types of diet although if you change water frequently, I don't think that would be a problem.

One forumer from RG commented that his juvenile fish that were on a BW-only diet died suddenly and when he did an autopsy, he found more-than-usual fatty deposits in the fish.

As much as the manufacturers would like you to think that BWs are completely sterile, I guess you must also consider where they come from or how they are bred.

Hi yeemiau,

Dear Lohsinlong,

Yup, I keep only Japanese Ranchu.



Dear Peter Poker,

It is true that water management is very very important and need close observation. Some water may turn bad even after 1-2 days after water change. My water able to last for maximum 4-5 days only.

In my opinion, pumping the fish too hard and lack of exercise will end up bad health. No point giving too much food yet can't digest properly too. So, the amount of food and exercise have to strike a balance. One point I must stress that too much pallet food is no good for the fish's liver.

Indeed, the frozen bloodworm manufacturer does not guarantee if the bloodworm is properly "cleaned" and normally, they are found in dirty places. Well, it is a risk to take but worth it. It is the same case back in Japan, but I guess they have a better quality control system.

Cheers.

Well, all sorts of processed foods can't be good for the liver/kidneys.

Since you are into TVR, how does one strike a balance between exercise and amount of food?

Also, what is your method for cleansing bloodworms?
