Cyclopese and freshwater fish?

[cdub1955]

I wonder if anyone here has had any experience in feeding cyclopese to their freshwater fish? this food is a very good food for salt reef fishes, and i would think it would be a great conditioning food for FW fish.

It is, I've been using it for several months and think I can see a difference in the reds in my fish (might all be in my head, but at least it look that way to me!) plus I just recently started feeding cyclop-eeze to my RCS, and so far so good...

My fish go bonkers for this food!

Good stuff!

Are you feeding your fish the freeze dried of the frozen form?

[lauraleellbp]

Me- so far I've been using the Tetra Micro-Crabs, which have freeze-dried.

I do plan to get some frozen, though.

I never got my FW fish to eat Cyclopese. I wanted them to eat it because those critters are suppose to be darn good nutrition - especially for enhancing coloration. I probably wasn't patient enough to "train" them to eat it. I've always used bloodworms because it seems that every fish in the book likes those.

Uni- you should try the new Tetra granules- my fish recognized them immediately as food. Only trick is they sink pretty quickly so I try to sprinkle just a little at a time in different spots of the tank...

No kidding w/ bloodworms though- it's hillarious watching my shrimp cram their faces with it- like trying to eat giant red spaghetti noodles!

I feed frozen Cyclop to my lemon tetras, along with turner darker yellow, their dorsal fin tips blaze orange. Never have I seen this before or read about it with Lemon tetras, so it has to be this food.
