Cycopleeze

[sigmachris]

I've heard people using this and I've heard people say frozen brine isn't a good food source. So my questions...
Is cyclopleeze a good food for Clowns 2X or 3X a week with pellets the other 2 or 3 days?
Is cyclopleeze good for shrooms, GSP, and yellow polyps?
As always thanks in advance for sharing the knowledge,
Chris

I bought a small can of the powdered cyclopeeze and have been using it to feed my yellow polyps. I think is is a good size food for them. My clown ate some at first but I don't know if it's a good staple for them. I haven't really noticed if he's been coming after it lately. I only feed enough for the polyps and throw the rest away (not into the tank) because I've been having red hair algae problems.

I have a stick of frozen ones that I feed 1-2 times per week to my zoos, ricordia, blastos, xenia, and kenya tree. Just shave off a little, add about 5ml of tank water, suck it back up in the syringe and it's feeding time!..

Thanks Integral that is exactly the procedure I've been using. I was wondering if the frozen cyclopleeze had any nutrietional (sp) value and it sounds like it does.

My clowns eat the cyclopeeze but its so tiny that I wouldn't rely on it.Most people who buy it use it for coral food.I feed my corals(zoos,frogspawn,yellow polyps,GSP,etc.).The clowns just eat what the corals didn't grab.Oh yeah...copepods love them too.

Can you get ahold of frozen mysis shrimp? That would be better than pellets IMO.

Thanks Bang...to just clarify the frozen mysis benefits the softies or the clowns or both?

Clowns but the Yellow Polyps might enjoy them too.

Cyclopeeze is a quality product, I use both the frozen and dried, though i prefer the frozen EVERYTHING in my tank seems to thouroughly enjoy it and it is very beneficial for the fish and corals.
