I've updated the "Fish Nutrition" article.
www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Quality_Fish_Food.html
In articular the section dealing with Fiber and a commentary addressing a shill for the discounter brand "New Life Spectrum" and his Ad Hominem attack upon Clay Neighbors
EXCERPT:
"COMMENT:
Clay Neighbor has been challenged on his knowledge fiber and fish food in general by a person associated with the Discount seller brand "New Life Spectrum" in a popular Monster Fish keeping forum.
First my own expertise and experiments (including using a restaurant with 110 aquariums) backs up much of what he has stated. This includes the fact his fish food is designed for fish health and longevity (as my studies also showed) not fast grow out as fish foods based on many aquaculture studies promote (this is a big difference despite what the NLS shill attacking with Ad Hominem logical fallacies states).
As well, the comment that he did not understand some basics many years back; well no duh, everyone starts somewhere as I knew him when I was the teacher too, but now in many aspects of fish nutrition, he is now the teacher.
Here is his response to criticism as to fiber content:
To arrive at that number was primarily derived by limiting protein fat and starch Most food have high % of both.
The Florida study proved that fish didn't need that much protein.
All of the fish foods except ours [Clay Neighbor's Custom] are based on aquaculture diet's which are designed to grow fish out fast; Not longevity of the fish... once they are large enough they go to the market."
