    I guarantee that by weight those crab legs are less than half the price of actual fish food!

    Man, that fish has better taste than I do. I don't really care for crab personally. Hope you find him/her a new favorite food or feeding is going to get expensive.

    Know what? I bet you're right. Let's say $14/lb, it'll take probably three to four packages of fish food to get a pound so you're right.

    One package of frozen fish food is 3.5 ounces. Seem to normally go for about $6.50 or so a pack right? So that means brine shrimp or mysis is $29.25 a pound! I've never seen crab over $30 a pound personally :)
    That's why I make my own fish food using seafood from the market ;)
