How do your critters like the mysis.

[Delphinus]

Oh right, I'm supposed to tell you all, thaw the stuff out in a cup of fresh water. Discard the water. Or occasionally dump it in. I just dump mine in, I prethaw it in tank water but I don't discard the water.

Will things "like" it better than anything else? My guess is probably not, or at least, "maybe but not necessarily." The reason this stuff is worth its weight in gold is because on a breakdown it's something like 69% protein. No other food offers protein at that kind of ratio. If you look at the nutritional breakdown of other foods, you'll notice that proteins are usually less than 10%. I noticed that a lot of the foods I have, the biggest component is "moisture." I figure I have enough of that in my tank water already... ;)

Fussy eaters supposedly will take to it, but I don't have anything like that, so I can't offer any personal testimony on that front. The only thing I can attest to, is that the protein content is what's good about it. If stuff will take to it, then they'll need nothing else.

That all said, my male perc is too small for the stuff. He'll chase a piece, decide it's too big, and let it go. My female eats it OK. But for the male, I have to feed something else, or maybe chop up the stuff first (which I haven't tried yet, but will eventually).
