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

["George & Melanie Caruso" <caraway1 at centurytel_net>]

As I had stated some time ago I have tried the freeze dried as well as the 
frozen forms of cyclopeeze. My killies were not to enthused about the freeze 
dried form but all readily eat the frozen form. I found the frozen form in a 
1/2 inch square by 10 inch long stick form that is not too expensive. This 
was at a salt water shop. The salesman there told me it is a highly used 
food for the saltwater fish. The only other frozen size I have seen is in 
the large block.
