Papagoomba Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Which repashy would you guys recomend for feeding otos and cherry shrimp? I have some algae waffers but none of my fish seem to touch them other than my plattys for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I can't speak for the shrimp but my wild caught and tank raised Otos like Super Green. Soilent is also something that's been mentioned in other posts, I have a shipment coming to try it out but extra Super Green on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 My cherry shrimp eat any repashy. They are not picky more like piggy 🐷 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 @Guppysnail do you ever use the Community Repashy? I have some and put it in my tank a few times with no results really. Curious if you use it who eats it/how you feed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatyourpeas Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The insane tank that seems to be breeding shrimp non stop gets Repashy Grub Pie. Vampire crabs love it, shrimp love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevesFishTanks Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Soilent green is what was available at my local store. I have fed it to my breeding group of bristlenose and their fry. They seem to eat it. I used a tip from one of Cory's videos where you coat the pleco caves in repashy while it's curing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I mix in a touch of garlic guard and dip it in bamboo sticks so it spread out. All critters in the tank want it all at one time so spreading it out helps more to munch at once, snails climb the stick and plecos can do their thing. Every spare space on the stick a shrimp jumps in. Edited November 13, 2021 by Guppysnail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 @Guppysnail I've tried your stick trick with craft sticks purchased at the hobby store. Then I put them in my tank and it all falls off nearly immediatly. I must be doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heat a glass with hot water I make sure the water I add to the repashy is rapid boiling. I pour the mix in the warm glass and place a handful of sticks in at a time. Take them out one at a time place on a tray lined with wax paper. Let cool on counter then refrigerate. I then seal in food saver before freezing so it stays moist and doesn’t get freeze dried. Best way I found to keep it on the stick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way I found to keep it on the stick. Nice! Thanks for the explanation. I’ve seen your Repashy sticks before but couldn’t figure out exactly how you did them. My Repashy goes from paste to solid in the blink of an eye (I barely have time enough to spread it across a mold) so I couldn’t picture how you dipped the sticks except the “dry” method but that didn’t look like what you did. I have microwaved it a few seconds in the silicone mold to get more spreading time and to get it to stick together better instead of doing the crumble thing. Have you tried the “egg white dip, then roll the sticks into the dry Repashy” technique? I think most bake them for a few minutes in very low temp to “fix” the egg white as glue. I know I can do that so that’s what I was going to try. I even read where somebody did a whole dip, roll, bake, dip, bake, series. Seems like you’d lose a lot of vitamin value at that point.
