Mine would say "I wish I had my own Refrigerator in here so I could feed myself."

I'm not a big flake feeder, but I bought some Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef Flake food yesterday and curious how much better it is over other brands. I only feed flake about 2-3 times a month because I like frozen food or live food. Is there really a big difference in a generic flake and the...
