I need some help. My breeder Tilapia are large, very large. They are currently eating a 53% protein pellet (floating). But it's $30+/bag. My bass eat whatever they can find, and have found I get better growth/weight by feeding them smaller live foods. Seems live foods vs prepared foods really aren't comparable when it comes to end product.
I have seen Arowanas take pinkies and like sized prey.
Would this be viable for Tilapia? Any idea if I would have to gutload like herpetologists do for lizards?
And for the math/science wizes....how could I accurately determine protein consistancy?
Or is there a better solution for high fat, and high protein?
Considering processed beef heart, and the like as well. As this is often used with african cichlids and some reef keepers. What do you all think? Consistancy is a huge issue here which ever way I go.
