                 There was additional early German literature that 
mentioned boiled yolk as a fry food.


         In my opinion the FROZEN cyclop eeze is the best new food to come 
along in many years, since it is frozen with almost no moisture,I have 
never seen anything frozen with so little moisture,  the price is very 
reasonable and may be even cheaper than freeze dry is one did a comparison 
of quantity.

         The frozen stays suspended in water and floats around attracting 
fish like a magnet.  I am feeding it every day and have seen the growth of 
fish increase, the colors seem brighter and  there is seldom any left in 
the tank.  It is a staple in my fish room along with baby brine in two 
sizes and the mainstay for raising fry.  supplements of golden pearls, 
artificial rotifers etc enhance the diet of my young fish.  I am keeping 
tetras, killies, small rainbows, signifer, werneri types along with dwarf 
cichlids,  every fish I have takes this food with a gusto.
