Two points in response:
 
I've seen the analysis - I'll stick with Cyclopeeze over decapsulating eggs  
any day.
 
I though killies were hard to get accepting dry foods.  I put some  
half-grown A. striatum and E. chaperi with my logsuckers because I didn't have  any 
other place at the time.  I was going to feed them separately, but they  dove 
right in and grabbed the spirulina flake food as soon as I fed the catfish,  so I 
didn't bother.  That was a month ago, and they're growing fine.

#2  De-capsulated non hatching eggs float for ages making them great food for 
 
top feeders such as Aphyosemion, Epiplatys etc. This is a bit more tricky  to 
do. I have to take my hat off to the Russians who have a great product.  
Forget Cyclopeeze............

Killies are one of the worst category  of fish to feed dried foods. Young 
fish easily adapt to new feedstuffs but  broodstock or wild fish can be a 
problem in introducing a new feed  to.
