Tried out a new food for my tank....

I love Cyclop-eeze, but it is hard to find locally in a package that is smaller then a 10 years supply. Well I got some as the LFS had some 2oz package....Anyway I like having a variety of foods on hand so I went to the other LFS I frequent and asked for some Daphnia(frozen). I used to use Sweet-waters but it goes bad quickly even refrigerated, well they had packs of Omega One whole frozen daphnia so I got some to feed my Maldive Clowns and gobies.....This stuff is great and it is whole and really small about the size of cyclop-eeze, these fish went berzerk after it. The palys and PDs and Nuclear Greens seem to love it as well....

If your looking for something to add to your food rep, try this stuff out.

I've fed it to my baby cichlids a few times. They loved it. I'll have to give it a try.

Pd's love any food, ESP meaty foods. Freeze dried Daphniais in alot of foods.
I dunno if it realy feeds the corals because my micro's dont open up for it.
They preffere cyclopeeze, articpods,mysis, golden pearls, And any other meaty sea food blended up.
That reminds me i have to mix up a bag of grunge.

Do you guys feed it directly to the polyps or just put it in the water column?

 

[Azurel]

I feed direct to the polyps, at least the polyps I know will eat, the rest I let the fish eat out of the water column. My Grandis love it too.....I have been looking for something extra that I can feed and this stuff is great......They have kinda turned their heads on mysis a bit, they still eat it but not with the vigor they once did...Not sure if it is a change in their habits cause they are getting mature and go for more of the plankton size food or not.... The polyps sure do close up around it though......

I feed my zoas a mix of food I made....cyclo-peeze half of the package, 3 teasepoon of Oyster egg and 15 cubes of rotifiers and a Phytoplankton then blend it and feed twice a day (morning and night) w all the circulation off and seems I get good growth
