    I do, and they gobble it like its fresh fish! And yes i think is great for them! I ferment it 2 days and feed out. Its been a huge plus. One of my cats came here nearly bald and anemic from fleas. You wouldn't believe how good she looks now, and has a lil pudgy belly . I only have outdoor barn...

    Do you just mean in grains, or other foods too, like greens, insects? Boss is probably one of the best grains, and I can't help but think peas are beneficial also.

    I have a 75 gallon tank with 2 Oscars, and a pleco. I bought some from an eBay dealer, but its a common thing in ponds here too i found out later.. I try to feed it at a cup i my ff 1X a week. Very high proteins and my waterfowl get very excited over it. Its an extremely high protein additive.

    He is a real looker! If his temperment is as handsome as he is, i would say he is a keeper. He certainly looks to be calm and sweet.

    What feed are you using, or grain? I found that if mine is consistency like heavy thick pudding.. drywall mortar, it does well. you have to let it sit, stir one or 2 times a day. ferment a few days to get it started. If its a warmer room, it does better. tell me your steps, how you are mixing...

    i use a table saw. It does a very clean cut, and won't track off. I have seen DH use a cable saw (by hand) but i am not that patient. It cuts pretty easy, especially if its a power driven tool.
