I have a large common snapper that I have been feeding pellets, quail, rats, etc. My issue is that it takes too much reptomin to fill him up. Is there any type of pellet that is larger that could satify his dietary needs and appetite.

ya get gator chow made by mazuri they have very similiar nutritional needs

What about fish? You have all the vitamins and calcium, etc and they're pretty cheap.

the mazuri croc chow have very high protein contents, I'd think too high as a staple. For common and Florida snappers I'd think a staple in fish wouldn't be the ideal diet either. I use aquamax 500 which are tiny pellets but I don't mind tossing a handful for my 22 pound 13'' common. They do come in different sizes some a large as marbles I believe. But the best part is that its cheap a 50 pound bag runs for less then 40 bucks.
