Ref to all of the discussions on pellets, I think most
of the species mentioned so far would respond well to
a version of one of the beefheart diets found on the
various exotic sites, I would think the ones suggested
for discus with beef heart, spirulina, vits and knox
gelatin would work well for most of the sunfish and
probably a lot of the other natives. The consistency
can easily be varied for different size species and
feeding habits.

Just a thought.
