If a fish eats other fish in the wild and you feed that fish whole fish then by happy coincidence they should be getting the full amount of nutrients in the correct ratios. Same applies for those that eat algae or inverts... most fish are omnivores in reality tho so I try to include equal amounts of fish, inverts and algae. Not very scientific but it seems to workThanks - I guess I meant - how are you determining (or perhaps not just you but everyone) - what the best mix of protein, vitamins, fats and carbohydrates are for your fish. As the article I posted suggested - mixing a variety of stuff together doesn't make it nutritious or 'good' for the fish. Paul B specifically - what 'bacteria' are you trying to introduce.
