but I can only find this small bag size... any of you guys seen this available in a big bag somewhere???

 
I thought "fish meal" as the main ingredients is bad news? Isn't that just the cheapest ingredient that better companies don't really want in their product? I think Hikari are considered one of the "giants" of the fish food world but their ingredients are just trash as they seem to use this fish meal tactic a lot. They are not the only ones by far.
 
For me, it’s one feeding on about a 2 week rotation… just for variety

And I’m not defending them, but I suspect “fish meal” can be from the best stuff, to the worst stuff, it’s a pretty nondescript term… probably more often than not, it's the worst stuff though...

There's a difference between 'fish meal' and 'whole xxxx meal' The first is usually made from the bits humans don't want - skin, scales, blood, bones etc. Meal from whole named fish (eg whole herring meal) is better quality because it's made from the whole fish not just the left over bits.

This makes an interesting read. The site no longer exists but we can access it via Wayback Machine (though using this does take longer to load)
