My fish love it, but I find that it comes off the glass after the first bite.



I haven’t had that issue . I mix mine a little thick I guess and really smash it to the glass.

Great stuff. I mix it with LRS foods, selcon, and some other powdered foods until I reach the right consistency. All of my fish love the stuff. Significantly less waste as compared to dumping frozen directly into the tank.

That what I thought too. Seems to keep the food together very well so not as much goes to waste.

Maybe big fish [emoji5]
If you have it mixed right, and normal fish size, it sticks on the glass for me for hours. Depending how hungry the fish are.

I mixed mine with some Spirulina Brine and Masago, maybe it was too wet, I don't know. In one tank, a clown took a bite and it came off the glass; in my other tank, a cardinal took a bite and it came off the glass.

I agree it was probably to wet. Mine is very sticky when mixed ... almost like a ball of dough but a little bit drier.

Well, mine was certainly sticky. Couldn't get it off my fingers after I made it all into balls. Had to wash my hands in the tank to get it off. The fish were in heaven :)

My Moorish Idol goes nuts for it. The poor guy hardly ever gets any though. When I put it in he gets territorial over it and chases everybody away. And when he chases a group to one side of the tank, fish from the other side swoop in. I usually mix mine with selcon or vitachem and put it on a rock.

Have you tried putting it in two spots...one on either end. It will become your Moorish Idol treadmill lol
