Ken's Fish Food

[alpha7]

Hi - this may have been asked before but does anyone in the Vancouver area sell Ken's Fish Food or does one have to order direct from him?

Thanks!

Charles has brought some in before, but I'm not sure if he has any now. I've gotten earthworm sticks, soft and moist, and 5 stick blend from him.

Thanks - I'll check with Charles. Thanks also to those who PM'd me

I'm also looking into setting up a group order. But it was pointed out that there may be restrictions now in importing fish food. One could be fined if that were the case.

i did notice John's Fish Food is a Canadian equivalent, though prices appear to be higher too. I'm looking at getting conditionning food mostly like the golden pearls.

Does anyone else have experience with this kind of food?

Johns Fish Foods are from Kens fish, so that is why the price increase. I've tried nearly all of Kens foods and they are a regular part of my fishes diet. earthworm stick, shrimp stick, spirluna stick, super brine flake, earthworm flake, tropical flake, golden pearls of various sizes... never had a food from him I have not liked.

Have you had any issues importing? I noticed there was an stricter importation rule that came into effect April 2009. Have you imported since then?

Any recommendations of food to help conditioning/breeding? African Tang Cichlids primarily. Golden Pearls, but also thinking about decapsulated brine shrimp, brine shrimp flake, growth crumble.

Another question: does anything need to be refrigerated? Is there any statement of expiry dates on the food? May not order as much if you answer "yes" to either of the above

I've emailed him to see if he's aware of any issues. I'd rather not be fined if there's any changes.

I've gotten Ken's flake food from Mykiss. My fish love it ... no expiration for the flakes that I could see. Got spirulina, color booster and premium flakes.

Zero problems bringing in any of kens fish foods. and there is no expiry date on any of the foods I have ordered at least. They come vacuum sealed.

Thanks! While the food's are cheap, it's sure easy to get a lot!

That's how it starts. I have over 10 lbs of fish food.
