Interesting, then why my copperband don't want to eat the pacifica plankton? he just spit them out and does not touch it after that, but he does heat the PE mysis.

BTW, Acans and dendro will eat anything...so they are not really a reference here.

just curious to see where you got your info on the nutritional profile of them? Here is what I found:

PE Mysis
protein - 69.5%
fat 8.35%
Fiber 2.75%
EPA 15.09% total Fatty Acid
DHA 10.59% total Fatty Acid

Hikari Mysis
protein - 70%
fat 6.7%
fiber 13%

SFB Mysis
Protein 46%
Fat 5.5%
Fiber 3.7%

SFB Krill:
protein 75%
Fat 28%
Fiber 8%

Argent Labs Dried Krill
Protein 71 %
Fat 10.9%
Carbohydrates 8.7%
*This one includes HUFA analysis, its the percent of all fat, not all matter*
HUFA’s 40.8%
EPA 18.4%
DHA 11.1%

Hikari Plankton (I believe it Euphausia pacifica, a type of krill)
Protein: 57%
Fat: 7%
fiber 16%

Corals also have the same reaction to Pacfica Plankton as wild fish do. Everything from Acans to Dendro's to Fungia to Trachyphyllia will immediately extend their polyps in a feeding response.

I feel that the nutritional profile of Pacifica Plankton is superior to mysis as it is a marine source. As well it does not expend it's energy reserves swimming 500 feet from the bottom of the lake to near the surface to feed and get caught.

Cheers,
