Default Frozen Hikari Krill vs Ocean Nutrition and San Francisco

After feeding my large snowflake moray eel and lionfish San Francisco Bay brand krill and then Ocean Nutrition for several years I switched to Hikari recently because the others were no longer available and boy I'm glad I did! Hikari krill on average seems twice as large as Ocean Nutrition! I wish I had switched sooner but I think Hikari was more expensive so I just never bothered looking at it. Krill is krill right? Well I guess not. Ocean Nutrition krill would have individuals not much larger than PE Mysis... Imagine trying to satisfy the appetite of a 2' moray eel by offering it teeny-tiny krill one at a time on a stick! I dreaded the days when I'd have to spend two to three as long to feed my fish because of that.

Now if only someone would develop a packaged squid for saltwater fish that didn't have the consistency of hamburger. Big fish need big whole food not mulch. I suppose I shouldn't hold my breath and just check out the seafood section of the grocery store.
