I'm having some trouble finding a food source for my axies (when I can find some). I am unable to locate a supply of Salmon Pellets, and I'm thinking frozen bloodworms/brineshrimp are going to be too messy to feed on a regular basis, and I can only get earthworms in the summer. So I'm wondering what else can I feed them in terms of Dry food? I have some thoughts.
1- Koi pellets. These are often recomended along with salmon pellets for feeding koi, so could the be used interchangeably for axies?
2- Shrimp pellets. I'm assuming these are going to be ok, unless someone tells me otherwise.
3- "Carnivore" pellets. Some companies (like Hikari) make these to feed to Oscars and other large predatory fish.
4- Freeze-dried krill. These might be a little too fatty for axies. Generally used to feed predatory marine fish.
Has anyone ever used any of these, or can anyone think of anything else? Or should I just experiment to see what they like when I get them?
P.S. - I think I found a place to get them. I have a person from England willing to ship them if I pay for the export permit, and I may have found a local source. I'm still waiting to hear back from the wholesaler on that second one. Heres hoping!
