• With Atison's being bought out by a larger company like SF Bay, it really reduces your options.
• The other owner of the PrettyB fish food company is very knowledgeable when it comes with marine life and if you research the food & UltraColor you should stumble upon the thread I came across.
• I think it would be a great benefit to anyone that actually wants to betta the breed to have a little more control over what they're feeding to their critters.
• Live foods are nice, but not an option for everyone due to financial costs.
• Dry foods are a nice staple, but you're limited to what's out there.
• A lot of the companies other lines of fish foods were discontinued due to lack of interest. It's very hard for a small company to know how to market their products when they're competing with the giants who have connections with the pet stores.
• I have no idea how much food they produce when they're testing out new recipes, but I'm sure they still have the master formula for the betta food & I think they would be happy to mix up a small batch for a group of ready & willing buyers in each region.
• If the company is willing to create a new batch, we could organize a group buy of sorts
• I think their prices are really reasonable & they use better ingredients than most of the other types of food I've seen.
• Like I said before I don't know too many people in my area that are into bettas. They're hardcore reefers though.

• I've also heard a lot of people complain about size of the pellets, strong odors & the sinking factor.

Nice! I was wondering what the difference between growth formula and small fish was XD

[Silverfang]

However the growth formula I have lists krill and herring first, not fish meal
