Hey!

Looking to buy an 11 pound bag of Hikari Staple to feed my fish I visited
a
number of web sites and noticed a high to low price spread of over $20 on
this product. Then there's the shipping charges that vary almost as much.

$$ I buy catfish food at anywhere from $9 to $11.00 per 50 lb sack. My koi
and large GF are thriving on it. For the smaller fish I buy Ichabon "small
pellet" from a local Aquarium store. I don't remember what I paid for it
but it was very, very expensive - something like $14 for a 5 lb bag.

I'm looking for some recommendations on where to get a good price on
quality
fish food since I'll probably be feeding more than the one bag this
summer -
3,000 gallon pond, 3 large koi & 23 goldfish and rising.

$$ Call your local feed stores.... Feeds made for ornamental fish are
horribly overpriced. feeds made for food fish are very reasonably priced.
As a treat I also toss in some inexpensive puppy and kitty chow. The koi
love it!
