So how are you guys doing, the ones with fish who didn't like it initially? Have they "come around" yet?

I got a little bit of it from one of the Calgary buyers, but my tang (Z. desjardini) hasn't touched a lick of it in 3 days. He ordinarily attacks food with gusto, so when he snubs a food, it's kinda surprising...

My hippo still just pecks at it out of curiosity, not really wolfing it down at all. I'm holding back on the nori for a little while to see if he'll come around. But I think he knows he'll get mysis every other day anyways....

I threw about 1/4lb into my display, thinking it would sit around for a while like the big lumps of chaeto and halimeda I sometimes throw in do.
I can't find a shred of it after 4 days.
My long spine urchin probably did a number on it, but I see a pretty big gut on my normally-skinny yellow tang. My scopas looks a little plumper than usual, too.

My three tangs (Purple, RS Sailfin, Atlantic Blue) and my 2 Rabbitfish all devour this stuff. They were a little leary at first, but after a couple days they are eating it like candy.

So my hippo tang has gone beyond the original curiosity pecks at this stuff. Now when I put some in, it gets more excited.

It still doesnt wolf it down like a pig, but it pecks at the clump more frequently. It will eat the smaller loose bits right away.

This is a good sign!

I'm not much of a reefer infact I only have fresh water but I do follow the forum a little bit. I think eveyone one who has thanked Chin should also personaly send a thank you email to the supplyer and or a group email directly to the supplyer. Not often you would get a donation from someone whos sells and could make a profit off the product
Just a thought
