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

Hi Earl and others,

Fred,  Cyclop-eeze is not necessarily cyclops as you and I typically know 
it.  These are a genetically modified salt water species.   Not sure much 
more about it.  Certainly not what we find in any of our ponds.   Cyclops 
the naturally occuring forms can eat baby fish.  However seem to be fairly 
appreciated by Diapteron.

On the Crumb foods.  The only one I have tried is the Golden Pearles from 
Brineshrimpdirect.com  I assume they are nearly identical.   many fish ate 
these well.  ESPECIALLY RIVS.  I think the color is hard to resist.  I 
always wanted to order Tim's stuff but have yet to get around to it.  Maybe 
this fall with the new fishroom.

On the Angels and cyclop-eeze WAFERS.  Mine are eating it like machines.  
But the wafers are essentially freeze dried and pressed into a flake form.  
There is no fillers in the wafer form so it is just as good as FD and maybe 
the frozen for quality.  NO FISH MEAL! (unidentified cod body parts).

They do add ethoxyquin which I am not to keen on using but pretty much all 
flakes have this as a preservative.   Pretty tough on the kidneys.  Shortens 
your dogs life span but maybe not as bad as spoiled feed.

The cyclopeeze are being used HEAVILY in the salt industries.  Good thing 
too as it probably keeps the demand high enough that we can still get it for 
killies.  My friends use it to feed live corals and clown fish fry.   
greatly improves growth rates and viability in clowns.  I know that much.

God Bless, Lee <><
