Hi Jason,
I am not from Australia and I do not know what you are currently
paying for your feed but Aquatic Habitats is offering a complete
zebrafish diet that is already irradiated (AH271 Zeigler Zebrafish
Adult Diet). The price in the US is $22.50 for 500g. Harlam is also
offering irradiated zebrafish diet but it is twice as expensive and I
have not tried it. The Zeigler feed I give to my zebrafish for the
last 2 years with great success. If you need smaller feed (for
rearing) I give Golden pearls from Artemia International (200-300um,
300-500um, 500-800um).
