Last saw prices at Petmart.
328 should be likewise.

Training to take pellets is not difficult lah.
So far I've not encountered a ray under my care who doesn't succumb to pellet training.

How much do you think your MP will cost you for a month of feeding these guys now?
Factor in the effort of freezing, peeling, storage space of the MP.
i understand trade- offs, but with that pricing point, things are still in favour of mp.. $50/kg x enough kilos = getting a maid more worthwhile sia...

have to talk to pellet importers/ distributors to see what else is there available on the market out there...

There are cheaper alternatives but my personal take is nothing beats Hikari Carnivore.

what is the MOQ to get $15/kg? how many container? Might as well we take over the Pan Asian distributorship lah.
