Default PBs on feeders

Hi PB keepers,

Ok i know if feeders are the main diet of PBs, we owners suffer financially.

But just wondering if anyone does feed feeders mainly to their PBs and if there are any color quality difference to those who feed MP?

Water quality plays a part to though and quality of feeders like say what was being used for gutloading, etc etc.

I wanna how how you guys prepare the feeders? Quarantine or straight throw into tank? I had 4 juv pbs died on me, with 2 having gasping and bulging gills.

I feed feeders 90% of the time and remaining 10% is MP when i finished those feeders. I also heard that feeding feeders to PB will bring out their colour too.

For my case i do notice a great colouration in my PB but most impt to me is all pui pui

BTW i usually dummp my feeders stright into my tank but without the water that comes with feeders.
