Aquarium Advice Addict
I started feeding the Rapashy Gel Community food to my fish last week to some mixed results and Im hoping for some insight/advice/tips or tricks.
Does anybody (that uses this stuff) do anything other than whats on the instructions to entice their fish to eat it. Maybe make it thicker or thinner? Or mixing different flavors? Im currently using the Community mix and preparing it as directed. I cut them into small cubes the first couple days, but they were totally ignored by all but one of my BN Plecos. Now Im using a cheese grater to make them more "bite sized". There's a little more interest now, but there also seems to be a lot of leftovers still. Also, it seems to break down after about 15 mins. I was under the impression that it was supposed to stay around longer so that fish could kind of graze on it for a while.
I also picked up the Super Green and Meat pie mixes, but haven't tried them yet. I saw some reviews that recommended mixing the Community with the Meat Pie for better results.
