Foreign feeds are known to contain reasonable amount of crude protein, because of this they are regarded as fish growth booster. For early stage of mostly catfish (Clarias gariepinus) good feed like the foreign feeds (coppens or aller aqua) are highly recommended thereafter you can switch to Nigeria made feed like blue crown.

1.5mm of coppens which is 5kg is around 60k+. Blue crown is around 24k, 22.8k, 21k for 3mm, 4mm, and 6mm respectively.
