New food for corals

[knightnsd]

I've been using a variety of foods from fish roe after ocean fishing to bought foods. I saw these last year at one of the Asian markets, frozen silversides. These are different from the silversides I see that are basically minnows, these are more like tiny eels in various sizes and have been great food for anems, acans to dendros and even the fish since there are so many sizes. Hope it helps some of you fatten your corals and it is pretty cheap as well


some of the sizes


dendros love them and even the small heads usually find a perfect sized piece

Nice recipe. The procedure is kindof weird. Feeding fish at night? And it lasts a week?

How do you use it? Would like to try it, but might feed less and when the lights are on...

Oh wait never mind, its coral food not fish food. Duh....

I've seen these in stores, never thought of using them as feed. They're probably pretty lean so might be good as coral/nem food.

Here's the Pappone recipe on rc:

I remember coming across this year's ago and I kinda do something like it for my main staple but have never tried it to a T. Bogg, I'd love to hear about your experiences using the Pappone style.

Just made my first batch. I don't see why fish wouldnt like this too...

I guess they do, right bogg?

[Bogg]

It's my main fish food yes

I may have overblended, chunks are kinda small for the fish. Corals are digging it though!
