I got frozen cyclops and as I said earlier...

For my feefing schedule, I have frozen Cyclops, Mysis, and Blood worms, all smashed together with a hammer in a big ziplock bag. The Cyclops I tried to smash fine, the others, I left in bigger chunks.

The frozen cyclops ( haven't tried anything else) has really added colour to all my fish, FW and SW. It is really noticeable in the red's of the fish. They are just so much brighter.

I had a problem when I first started feeing cyclops in my SW. I overfed! This lead to a cyano explosion that I am still fighting, partially due to the fact I am still feeding cyclops I think. Never had a problem in FW, cause all the small fish would just gorge themselves on it.

My 37g only need the tiny piece of cyclops. A little does go a long way.
What I have done is smashed a small amount into a ziplock with the other food mentioned above. In those big ziplock bags (1 gallon?) I probably only have about a 3" square piece of cyclops, along with a full pack of blood and mysis (the big flat slabs). The remainder of the cyclops I have frozen in RO in a plastic pitcher.
