bro basically if u were to read up literature on pnt on the internet, all would recommend a wide variety of food. it is true tad a wide variety of food is good but for me i only maintain 3 types of main food for my pnt.

1) algae wafer - easily available, not hassle, dun pollute the water much
2) prawn shells - good in calcium, available for both my pnt and tigers, dun pollute water much.
3) sw - good calcium, promote growth.

for algae wafers, my pnt can eat up to 8 pieces for a day.

hmmm.....sw and prawn shells are good cause like what u said, they dun pollute the water and also, those small little fishes cant get to eat em.

But is the protein content of SW high?
