thanx everybody...
bought them at Jacks (Smithville), they had new bags hanging in the tanks, so they were not new arrivals...I tried the pellets because I went back there on Monday and asked what they feed them, the dude told me that he feeds them pellets every morning, shrimp and blood worms in the afternoon, then flakes in the evening before he leaves...
I work in Centerville, but live out by Lewisburg...I'll stop at Gerbers on my way home and see what they have...
