Devon or Carl....Would you be so kind as to add a new thread in the Paradigm Sponsor section with direct links to the articles that I have written so far? OK, I added this as a sticky thread so that it stays at the top. Please let me know if this is correct as to what you wanted Carl |

Carl....An old friend of mine Peter George wants to publish one or two of the articles in The New England Cichlid Association's newsletter. You were kind enough to provide a place for my rambling so I thought the best way to approach this request is to make sure that you are ok with it.

The only request I would make so that Google does not slap either article with a duplicate content penalty is that he links back to the article you posted here Carl |

In this regard a link wouldn't help or hurt. As you know well the masses aren't too interested in the science behind it all. We announced today us sponsoring this board Announcement and we have had a whopping three likes so far including mine. I should be used to the lack of interest in biology but still managed to be somewhat disappointed. You can see the previous NECA newsletters here . Clay |

I should be used to the lack of interest in biology but still managed to be somewhat disappointed. You can see the previous NECA newsletters here . Clay I understand the disapointment too, but I would not give to much credit to Facebook, as I got rather down when first using Facebook to promote and only get a like here and a like there, meanwhile friends would post they got a pedicure and get 200 likes. Quite frankly from the tracking software I have installed, social media is way over rated. That said, I think it still should not be ignored, if only to keep your "name" in front of persons As for my articles, most of the readers are simply those actually searching for the information, not stumbling upon it in social media or even as much forums. This is why making sure every article is optimized fully for being "found" in the first place is so important. As an FYI, the Fish Nutrition article is already the #5 article on the Everything Aquatic Blog according to my stats software, with "How to Read a Fish Food Label" #6 Admittedly most of the traffic is coming from this board, but then it takes as long as 6 months for search engine optimization to be noticeable, but the goal on each and every article is to start working immediately on a goal to be optimized Carl |

Clayn, If you are "friends" with any groups in FB, you can share your posts on Paradigm to these group and hopefully will get the articles to a much wider audience. I just shared one of the articles to a couple FB groups we are a part of. I've found it does boost readership or at least gets a logo out in front of people. These groups have a lot of people too.  |

Clayn, I saw your note when I was thinking about my next order from Carl, could you let us know when the food is available again--probably here, because I don't check the AAP site that often. [Maybe if I had more money  ] Thanks! Angelminx |

A quick note of thanks...my fish love the Graze. The "majority" of prepared foods (other than Hikari Micro Wafers, Aqueon Bottom Feeder tablets and Shrimp Cuisine) I feed are flakes, because of the tetras--however they do sometimes go to the bottom to feed.
When I got my shipment of Graze, I opened it up and divided it, holding out most of the larger "chunks", which I put in the freezer. What I did then was to "grade" it (I put each size into an empty screw-top pill bottle from the pharmacy--some of this I also froze): the larger pieces went into one group, then I put the "pea-sized" pieces into another. The rest I put into a sieve to separate the "dust" from the tiny pieces. The 2 smaller sizes float so that the the tetras can enjoy it before it sinks. If I ever get my Angels to going back to actually raising their babies, I think a lot of the dust should be fine enough that they can manage it after a few days.

I just ordered some Graze and was wondering if it was the new formula or not...

Does the antinutrients in the pea protein effect the absorption of other nutrients in the AAP Premium Carnivore food?

The answer I got from Clay was "No".
The intestine "sees" it as either digestible or undigestible.

Regarding Anti-nutrients there are three types in fish food that serve different purposes:
1) Moisture or water is needed to mix the ingredients while making fish food. In pellet food the moisture content is around 10% and in our dehydrated food its around 5%. As you might guess water has no benefit and does no harm as long as the moisture content is around or below 10%.
2) Fiber does help move waste through the intestinal tract. Too much fiber in the food would cause diarrhea. However at an inclusion rate of around 21% I have never noticed or had anyone mention this being a problem. If it were a problem the food would pass through the intestinal tract so quickly that the fish wouldn't be able to get nutrients from the food. Over a period of time this would result in very skinny fish which simply hasn't happened.
3) Minerals or ash is absorbed by the fish as needed. Excess minerals are stored in the organs. In great excess the minerals stored in the organs can become toxic. However whole menhaden fish meal contains around 20% mineral content from the bones and cartilage in the fish. Obviously whole menhaden meal mimics the diet of a carnivore. I don't believe carnivores need that level of minerals. I don't know how carnivores process the excess minerals. I can't find any research on this subject and I doubt there is any. However I will continue looking.

Or please consider a donation, even just $5 helps. If even 25% of users of this information donated just $5, it would be more income than one year of sales (currently less than 1/1000 of a % donate)
