Derry Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 For starters, please don't take this thread down the "I hate frozen, and here's why..." path. I understand that there are pros and cons to using frozen, and I've made the decision to accept the cons for the sake of the pros. I'd rather save the use frozen/don't use frozen debate for another thread. Having said that, what's your preferred frozen food (specifically, which brand/vendor) and why? I've been using SFBB varieties with good results, but I'm looking for something that uses fewer binders. I'd like to hear others' experiences with other brands.

Brooks Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I like PE Mysis. It has an oil in it that the fish and corals seem to love more than the other mysis that I've fed. Plus, there is less water volume so ultimately, more food per square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 I saw on GlassBox that PE Mysis finally came out with blister packs, so they're definitely on my to-try list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dapettit Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 PE Mysis and Rod's Food (my fish go ape sh#* over it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teg Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 ever consider homemade frozen? saves more money in long run, plus you get to control what you put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've tried making my own food a couple of times, but I've never been happy with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekreefer Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 My fish and corals love Rod's Food (original). My Acan's, torch, chalice's and brain put out lots of feel'ers as soon as it hits the water. I also feed FreezerBar (cyclopeeze available at your LFS) . I like the cyclopeeze because it has very low water content and is very high in protein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 My fish get the raw end of the deal when it comes to frozen. I have heard good stuff about PE, but my sometimes cheapeness kicks in at the prices, and I end up buying the large flat pack of Mysis that the LFS' carry.

Timfish Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 It's been a long time since I've checked with my fish but the last time I tried the various frozen foods Lifeline and any brand of brine shrimp came out the winner. I feed mostly New Life Supreme pellets mixed with powdered krill/plankton and frozen for treat/variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M. Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I've tried making my own food a couple of times, but I've never been happy with the results. I have enjoyed the same result. I use a variety of the frozen's available from the LFS's. Usually buy from Aquatec and PE mysis is a perenial favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 My fish and corals love Rod's Food (original). Same here. Everything goes for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kkiel02 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thats a easy one. Marine Cuisine. Enough large chunks to keep my tangs happy and enough smaller stuff for the corals. I also use rods too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishypets Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Rod's food for me, been using it two weeks and have noticed a positive result with sps color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Need to update that I have started using Rod's frozen food, and I am liking it. I really like the diversity of items in the food. And my duncans just gobble it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
