Default Mosura brand CRS food better than others?

CRS breeders are saying this product is the next best thing since sliced bread. Apparently the shrimp love this brand of food over the other CRS products. I just bought some new Shirakura pellets which are made with a new formula, but they don't seem to be attract to these pellets.

Anyone use the Mosura brand of CRS food that can comment on this product?

My shrimp do not seem to like shirakura at all, and I keep 6 different types of shrimp. Where can one purchase this food?

I use various shrimp food like Shirakura, Loose, ebi-ten, Mosura, Advance Gold, efish...
Mosura has a special formula to grow and breed the shrimps, but not too much protein. It is a very good shrimp food and is much better taken than others from the shrimps.

Perhaps i can send you something if you want to try ?

I use something called Biomax from Genchem Biotechnology co.
There are 3 types. Biomax is the normal food in 3 different sizes. Then theres White Pellets, calcium and mineral supplements with enzymes. Then there is Biozyme, with protease and alpha-amylase (Enzymes that breaks down protein and amylose(Carbohydrate)).

Its mainly featured for CRS

I've purchased the Mosura brand from ebay, and aquabid.com.

When I first introduced the Mosura brand, my CRS were a little hesitant to try it. In fact, large pieces were left untouched for the first few weeks. Later on, they developed a taste for it, and now jump on it every time they're dropped in.

Between the Shirakura products and Mosura pellets, I can't see a noticable difference in CRS development. The pellets do smell different and are obviously composed of something a little extra in both. But overall, the CRS love eating both and colors looks the same, no enhancements.

I am not sure if Mosura is the better food, but I can say if the only one that my Sulawesi shrimp go quickly to eat. Rest I tested with them stay in the tank for days without response from the shrimp, and finally is eaten by snails...
