Rod's Food

[Im Lon 2]

I have been feed my tank with this stuff for the last month or so.. I love this stuff.. Very pricey.. But everything seems to like it.

Even my mandarin waits for me to spot feed and comes over and steels the food from my Candy canes.. I have never seen him feed on anything I've put in the tank before..

yeah it is great stuff i use it also ... pretty funny seeing my live mysis in my tank turn orange from eating it....

Rich also uses Rod's and our tank really seems to be thriving on it. And he is so particualr about the tank, he ALWAYS spots feeds, even if it makes us late for something!

Who sells this food locally, been planning on checking it out, but never made much of an effort....

Shoot my fish go nuts on it anyway.. I don't know if I would buy a different type.

The only place I have not seen it at was Gateway.. but Chad did say he was going to try and get it in. So you might want to call him before driving around.

how much does it cost?

I feed so infrequently that it might not be a bad option for me

I've been feeding a combination of Rod's, frozen mysis, blood worms, flake, and vita-chem. The fish (currently in QT) go nuts over it. I'm sure I'm over killing as far as using the additives, but I never see a good helping of one thing, so I help it along. One thing I wasn't so sure about is it has some terrestrial stuff in it. ie carrots, and veggies. Which I always find on the bottom of the tank. Never been a fan of feeding non-water stuff to the fish, in my case it's not like they eat it anyway though. And just to chime in on the same, I've seen it sold everywhere I've been.

I've seen it priced within the 20$ scale, depending on the place it slides a dollar or two.

You can come over I'll break you off something proper if you want a sample.

I do add more Mysis to it as well.

My two Tangs eat that up too. I like hanging broccoli on the side of the tank. All my fish eat off that except for the Mandarin.

 

[paulamrein]

Broccoli? is that the stuff we eat or the leaves that come on it? I tried to throw it some stalks of broccoli (stuff we eat) a while back and they looked at me like I was an idiot.

I use it and Prime Reef from time to time. All my fish love it, and I have a few in my 90!

It nly takes a bit to feed, and a big package is like $20 I believe.

Yes, Broccoli like we eat!! I had a foxface once that would just attack it.. and now they all do.

My first and only fish refused to eat for the first week and I totally freaked out about it. I got some Rod's and he was all over it.

 

[paulamrein]

That was the case for me too with a banner fish, The only thing is the yellow long nose I have, it took blood worms for him. Now, I have three fish in: banner, long nose, and copper banded all eat out of my hand with the mix I have. I chalk it more up to teaching the fish to do it, but it was a lot easier to do with the rod's/
