RE: Cyclop-eeze one more time.

["Bob Clayton" <Bob@amazona.co.uk>]

Hi,
I use Cyclop-eeze and find it excellent - the fry take it if you put a very
small amount in a syringe with some tank water and squirt it directly above
the fry - they seem to attack it as it swirls around.  After a couple of
days you can increase the amount and the fry will eat it however it is
presented but they do not seem to take it if it is floating so always premix
it with water.
I have tried brine shrimp and cyclop-eeze whilst raising two sets of fry and
have found better growth and survival rates on the cyclop-eeze batch.  I
also use microworm normally and find this a really good food taken by most
fry although if not supplemented with other things growth is quite slow.

I live in the UK and import Cyclop-eeze from the USA - I order it from
http://www.argent-labs.com/ but you have to buy a box at a time.  Also
challenge DHL on the VAT bill as they will cancel it if you say you are a
fish breeder and consequently classed as a farm!

Bob
