stubbskm Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 As I am sure that you are all aware, the cost of food is not cheap, especially as our betta family increases. For me, if I can't reduce the food bill, I will seriously have to consider cutting down or calling it quits. So to try and prevent the later option, I have been looking at buying pellet food in bulk. While away at a conference for work, I visited the LSFs, as one does. I found a breeder of cichlids who provides to the Australian wholesalers and was opening up a new shop, under cutting the other LFS on cichlids by up to 50%. We got talking about how we both like HBH food and I mentioned that I can not get it here in Rocky and must order over the net. Well to cut a long story short, this man is offering me the option of buying in bulk at wholesale prices + 20% and freight. Now I did a little bit of research and this offer looks like it will work out better for me in the long run. However it will take me a long time to work my way through 5kg of fry bites. And before I do go ahead with this I want to make sure that I can't get better prices some where else. So those of you who use HBH food can I ask how much you pay? Below are the approx prices I can get the HBH food in bulk for (freight will vary depending on amount purchased of course, changing the cost ). Betta Bites 102gm case of 36 $9 each I now pay $12.54 Baby Bies 34gm case of 48 $5 each I now pay the same Fry Bites 2.5kg case of 2 $111.60 each Soft & Moist Spirulina 91gm case of 36 $9 each I now pay $9.90 " " " " 2.5kg case of 2 $117.60 Colourbright 10gm case of 48 $5 each I can not get Tropical Flake Frenzy 198gm case of 6 $19 each I now pay $24.50 " " " 2.5kg case of 2 $98 each If I do go ahead with this, is there anyone else interested in buying in bulk?

Bettarazzi Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I haven't tried HBH sorry. Otherwise I'd definitely be prepared to buy in bulk. I'm using Hikari Betta Bio-Gold, Tim Addis and New Life Spectrum Small Fish Formula at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
