Ask Bob Fenner, then tell me I'm full of BS.    BTW, I don't know Bob personally, but I guarantee that he would vouch for everything that I have posted in this discussion.   
 
The OP in this discussion asked for input, I gave him the best advice that I know of, a diet that has been proven to have long term success with MI.  As previously mentioned, I am not posting any of this in support of keeping MI in captivity.   While I have a vested interest within the aquaculture industry (many here know who I am), I don't sell fish, nor do I give a flying flip what anyone here keeps, or feeds their fish. 
 
Sorry for the intrusion, carry on .......
