I think I'll pass on the heteroclitus. My tanks are still in recovery

I won't be adding fish until spring time at the earliest.

A 1lb. can to your area will run you about 28 bucks including shipping. He also has cheaper grades and I have used the 80% hatch stuff with success also. All his other flake type foods are high quality as well.

I have 2 of the 6 oz packs in my fridge right now. It's heavier than you would think 6 oz. would be. Their 1lb. cans are a little more than Ken's prices.
