[Willow]

i would feed frozen cyclopeze if you could find any. hell if im going to pay 50 bucks for it at big al's which seems to be the only place you can buy it for some reason.

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.

However.

I sincerely hope this was a joke. I was under the understanding that you were wanting to know who fed, cyclopseze - what brand it was, how often, and what else you fed with it. If my response was a thread hijack I have no idea what you are looking for as an answer - sorry that I feed a different food along with my cyclopseze than you do .

The freezer bars production run is almost complete. We are hoping to have them in stock and available for shipping to retail stores by next week.

Hopefully all interested people will be able to find them in your neck of the woods by next weekend.

I feed it once every two nights.. or once a night.. depends.

I only have one fish that eats it, which is the clown.. and the shrimps. I feed just a tiny pinch.

I feed my fish mysis, and my anemones silversides and cocktail shrimp. The clown and yellow watchman like the shrimp as well... usually feed it every 2-3 days.. sometimes 4


I use Freeze-dried... the clownfish love it... so do the shrimp. I like to keep feeding it as a snack or treat.. or until its time to be fed. It does stink, but it's by no means messy if you're doing things properly the first time Just breath on your index finger ( get it kind of moist ) and dab it on the stuff... it sticks on, then you just put your finger in the water.... haha no mess.

I use Liquidlife Marine Plankton which contains Cyclopeeze. I started afer speaking with Samw and reading his interesting thread that it would be good for Flowerpots.

If I remember correctly, J&L sells for $9.95.

Use it once a week. Been using it for two weeks. Flowerpots seems to like it and it polyps extend more at night.

Plan to supplement with weakly CoralPlankton. Generally feed combination of flakes and misys everyday.

Tony, when it ws available, I fed frozen, two nights per week, but only as a food menat for the SPS. The corals seemed to really eat this stuff well.

I haen't been able to buy it lately though, but am anxiously waiting for it to come back to my LFS.
