No, but 'fresh' food is a break from dried constantly........canarsie11 said:Is there a lack of fish food on the market?
Yeah.....I know that fishermen use them a lot.....carp love them....in fact it can be considered such a good bait that it is banned in some fisheries.Fishist said:Hemp seed?Macracantha said:
If you took the skin off would it not still work as a good source of fiber?CFC said:
Sounds pretty ridiculous, right? Yet the primary ingredient in most commercial dog food is corn. Makes no sense. They should be eating raw meats, uncooked bones (even chicken bones are ok - since they're raw, they don't splinter), plus some veggies (either cooked or finely chopped to replicate the partially digested stomach contents of prey since dogs' digestive tracts are too short to properly digest fiber). Sorry, don't mean to gross anyone out, but that's the way things happen in nature. And when have you ever seen a wild cat eating a bowl of cereal? They just don't eat that sort of thing. I think it should be the same with fish. Live foods are an obvious choice. And lettuce, cucumbers, spinach, peas and such all replicate the vegetation fish would include in their diets in the wild. But I just cannot imagine any natural part of a fish's diet that could be replicated by corn. Sorry, this just doesn't make any sense to me. Yes, a varied diet is a good thing, but I don't think something so unnatural could be good for fish. Of course I say this, but I certainly don't have a problem washing down a Snickers bar with a Coke... 
You raise a good point about what animals eat in the wild, however when they are in the wild they are eating for survival and not for what will enable them to live a longer and more healthy life.MsDad said:I'm a huge advocate of feeding pets similar foods to what they would eat in the wild. For example, the BARF (don't laugh, it stands for Bones And Raw Food, seriously) diet for dogs. When's the last time you watched a documentary about wild dogs or wolves walking through a field shucking ears of corn??
There are plenty of different types of hemp which have nothing to do with drugs...I understand tho that 'hemp seeds' are against the law in the US...In the UK you can buy large hemp seeds from angling shops and apparently carp go mad for them.Blue Lobster said:
in the uk you can posses the seeds for any type you just can't grow them! buy the way if anyone does feed they're fish hemp you need to boil it for about 20 mins and it will stink your house out.
