[dumbork14]

yes. here:wheat germ meal, fish meal,dried bakery product,wheat flour, rice germ meal, gluten meal, wheat bran, brewers dried yeast, MSG,dried seaweed meal, garlic, rice bran, dried A. niger fermentation extract, choline chloride,vit. E supplement, stabilized vitamin C, calcium panthothenate,riboflavin, vitamin A oil, thiamine mononitrate, selenium yeast, red 3 (artificial color), and many more compounds.

the pellets are small (pin head size), how many should i feed?

Sounds close to the Koi version.

Ingredients: Wheat-germ meal, krill meal, fish meal, wheat flour, rice germ meal, bran, gluten meal, soybean protein, enzyme, monosodium glutamate, garlic, vitamins and minerals including stabilized Vitamin C.

Vitamin A 8,500 IU/kg
Vitamin C 120 mg/kg
Vitamin D3 1,700 IU/kg
Vitamin E 1,000 mg/kg
Vitamin K 2.5 mg/kg
Copper 13 mg/kg

They should have larger pellets too. As for feeding, I think people have switched about 20-50% of regular pellets with it.
