I rarely recommend a food, but when I do...

[Sk8r]

Reef Nutrition has some refrigerat-ables that are liquid, and seem to be much more palatable to finicky fish than standard frozen, sort of a diff between a nice red steak and one severely freezer-burned.

The amount of interest this has engendered---is frantic pursuit, no matter if the big fish is in the way. Fortunately the big fish is intent on the food.

Putting a tiny drop of Selcon in the water will also perk up appetites.

The same company, Reef Nutrition, has a pureed oyster-with-oyster-eggs soup that will appeal to corals. Fish, too, but they have to drink it...

The Reef Nutrition must be kept in the fridge--I don't think they'd be very nice without it.

Hey sk8r, what finicky fish have you tried this food with?

 

[Dogshowgrl]

I work at a LFS. That is what we recommend and feed! Love Reef Nutrition and LRS. I feed the ROE to my pipefish and leopard wrasse and the phyto to my sponges and oysters. The refrigerated bottles make things easy when I feed my Seahorses first thing in the morning and I am out of time.

filefish, with the mysis in suspension. They're pretty healthy sized mysis, structurally more robust than what you usually get in cubes, so smallest mouths in the hobby might find many a bit large. I use an eyedropper to feed, because of the access on my tank, and the larger ones block the entry to the eyedropper, but still get transported.

I also use what used to be called Cyclopeeze, this time from Hikari, in cubes, for corals, but the larger fish run about sucking them in as best they can.

And I'm experimenting with the oyster preparation. It's cloudy, really pureed, but filter feeders might be happy with it.

Great recommendation. I've used Reef Nutrition's refrigerated foods for quite a while in addition to frozen stuff and love it. The Oyster feast and ROE are the two that I usually buy.

I'm a big fan of cyclopeeze. Whatever happened to nutrimar ova? I heard their cultures collapsed?

What did crossguard say wrong? Hmm...

It should be obvious. What value is your post to the subject? Hmmm.

One thing nice about RN's bottled mysis is it's pretty much a refrigerated version of the frozen PE Mysis, which are decently sized (Compared to some of the others like Hikari where the pieces are quite small.) I think your matted file would enjoy the ROE too. Mine loves it.

Very nutritious, but for me one big advantage is convenience.

I used to use nutramar ova all the time. Capelin fish roe is also excellent.

They have been deleted as a troll attack: move along, move along, there's nothing to see here.

Posts removed. Please don't feed the troll. He will undoubtedly resurface. Obviously he has little to occupy his time in life. I would think life outside his basement might be an improvement.

I have been trying out some of the Sera Marin stuff..
The fish go nuts for the flakes (can't remember which exact type), they also now have a little disc you press to the glass as a treat or slow feeder..

My snails seem to love it..
After a few minutes every one of those snails were up there working on it...
It's amazing to me how quick they can find the food when you put it in...

cool pic--

 

[hkgar]

I haven't looked recently, but is Cyclopeeze now availabel. Last time I looked I couldn't find any.

 

[Sk8r]

It's under a different name, and it's from Hikari, as frozen cubes.

I have to admit, I feed a huge variety of foods to my tanks. From flakes to frozen and from freeze dried to fresh caught and frozen by me... sometimes even live food. I mix up a batch of whatever hits my fancy that particular day. I have a full array of Reef Nutrition and use some every day. If I'm feeding light I'll cut back on other foods first. The one exception is small shrimp for the rock flower anemones that don't do photosynthesis well enough and need to be spot fed.
