Who loves repashy?

Who loves repashy? Bristlenose, snails, shrimp, platy, and of coarse me! That’s who!

Did a repashy feeding this morning and I have become a huge fan of this food. I made cubes using this tray 915D858A-8393-4FF1-BC00-745D76F7703F.jpeg.b771bc6df8e6305451d47b95c06a340f.jpeg01A7A7C0-AD39-4A7C-B605-FFC170326AE7.jpeg.1c6224fc0358cb8e802a2559d82de7ac.jpeg

I slice all of them down the center but not all the way through so I can feed big chunks to adults, half portions to juvenile, and easier to shreds after thawing for fry.786F616A-9F30-4FE4-8FF3-209F26FB143C.jpeg.087d877dc1657d4e537e44df2df5d407.jpegAlso made rods @Guppysnail showed me this.068D411D-FEB3-4C18-ABC9-1A1AF98A6B34.jpeg.bf71cd66367812395bdf7a2250e94555.jpegPlaced all in the tanks

what an amazing food. Will be ordering different verities next food order at ACO.

I need to get those sticks or at least flat ones like that I could only find kabob sticks they work obviously but those have to be so much better.

I use these broke in half. Next batch I’m getting the 32 long so I don’t have to break. Was trying to cheap out but they splinter when you break them.

I thought about that but was not sure what wood they were made of. 

Well according to the decsription they are food grade s nothing in them that can harm us.  Says 100 all natural wood.  Which I have claimed for years but that besides the point🤣

OMGoodness you …… natural wood includes things like pine which are not ok as far as I know that’s why I went with bamboo.

Ty you sent me that link before I was just out and tried finding bamboo but could only find the kabobs. What is wrong with pine? To much sap?

I know it the sap burns reptiles and amphibians from frog and bearded dragon experience.  I’ve heard it’s bad in tanks as well but unsure why so i play it safe

I’ve always loved repashy, I just hate making it. It’s very simple and straightforward, I just don’t prefer making the stuff. I can never get it exactly how I want and it’s quite expensive to experiment with. I am aware that it’s probably one of the best fish foods out there. 

I’m just getting started with it, so I’m sure I’ll get tired of making it in another batch or two🤣🤣🤣

I tried looking it up and found that they are made from Baltic Birch which when I searched its use in an aquarium found that it is on the list of safe woods you can use in an aquarium.  

This is what I found...

Safe woods for use in an aquarium:
Alder, Apple, Beech, Birch, Cherry, Hawthorn, Heather, Oak, Pear, Sycamore.

Unsafe woods for use in an aquarium:
Cedar (avoid anything evergreen/coniferous) Cypress, Grapevine – this rots very quickly, Horse chestnut, Lilac – this is poisonous, Ivy – this is poisonous, Pine, Spruce, Walnut, Yew – this is toxic.

I admit to looking into Repashy and being overwhelmed by all the different kinds. I am not sure which one would work best for corydoras... I know the Amanos would eat anything that is someone else's food.

I agree there are a lot of choices but I was looking specifically for bristlenose and morning wood seemed like a good option. Quick search maybe try this

I couldn’t decide either so I buy all the ones I think they will like and mix together 🤣 my Pygmy and panda Cory love it.

Grapevine

I have a 2 foot 3-4 inch thick log in my pleco shrimp snail tank just so it does rot quick for yummies 😁

I do the exact same thing except I add in some powdered duckweed, powdered spiriulina and vita chem to the mix as well.

I was surprised to hear that Tom Barr uses Western Red Cedar and Cyprus in his scapes. I did notice that the piece of cedar he showed was highly weathered and sun bleached. I also realized that the two 3’ long pieces of Puget Sound driftwood in my tank are probably some type of softwood, maybe Cedar.
