Default How do your critters like the mysis.

I just found this today, although Dr. Ron is just guessing as to why his don't like it.

Hi,

I can't comment on the other Pro-Salt products, I have not tried them.

I had bad luck with the Piscine Energetics Mysis. None of my fish would eat them
preferentally, including either of my two copper band butterfly fish; or any of my clownfish.
This may have been due to the mysids being relatively larger than the foods the fish were
used to. My clown fish would taste them and spit them out and refuse to eat them. I talked
with the PE folks, and found them earnest and concerned, but we were unable to determine
why my fish simply did not appear to like the food.

These are fresh water mysids, and it is possible that the batches I tried were collected when
the animals had been feeding on an alga that might render their flesh distasteful to my fish.
However, I don't know for sure.

Some folks have had good luck with this product, but I didn't.

:D

It could be the (size) of it, I would agree. I threw a bunch in my new batch of food and they all eat just fine. But when I chopped it, they still didn't go for it.

And no Kyle, I am not knocking your excellent world renowned product... :D ;) I am actually finding a way to get reluctant fish to eat it..
