## I've been reading that here for years. However my koi and goldfish
are
thriving on a diet of about 80% catfish food and 20% kitten and puppy
chow.
There is no logical reason the people making pond fish foods should be
charging $5 a lb and up other than greed.

It's like my neighborhood. I always have to get three or four contractor
bids on a job before I can get one fairly priced. Why? First thing the
contractor sees when the drive into my neighborhood is $1.5M homes. *cha
ching*. I've saved as much as 30% or more on jobs, and the work has always
been good. Anyway, with Koi, it applies. There is a perception that Koi
are the habit
of those with money.

## RIGHT! They're going to get what they can for their product - but not
from me. Also, when they see ponds, gazebos, manicured lawns and flower
gardens they also see $$$ signs.

Hey. Anyone out there raise live food for their fish?

## I harvest the fat worms from the compost heap. All the fish love them!
