[Killietalk] Anyone using commercial red crumb food (Tim Addis)

["Earl Blewett" <micro at earlblewett_net>]

Dear FishFolk,

 

Reading the cyclopeeze posting got me curious about how many people use the
commercially milled red crumb food from Tim Addis in the UK?

 

I use the fine powder (and grind it smaller with a mortar and pestle) for
all my fry, killies, halfbeaks and rainbows. I use two larger grades for
almost all my fish.  Dario dario, Badis corycaeus and E. evergladei don't
take it but nothos, lampeyes, Aphyosemons, cichlids, and inverts like cherry
shrimp, and snails all love it. 

 

I store the large bag in the freezer and have small containers at room
temperature. I feed a lot of live food but the red crumb is the morning
staple.  

 

I fed Nomorhamphus liemi (harlequin halfbeak livebearer) almost entirely on
this and had many healthy fry. 

 

Just curious to see how many people use this food. I have never had much
success with cyclopeeze.

 

Earl
