Default Melamine in fish food

That's what I was thinking. It seems like a lot of koi and goldfish
food is imported too. Maybe our first reaction when a fish swells up
from kidney failure should be to get a fresh batch of food! I also have
to wonder if melamine is part of why goldies do so well on homemade foods.
