Repashy question

[knee]

Can I feed the powder directly? If I can is there a specific one that I can use or can I use it for all the flavors?

Any pros or cons to doing this? 

 

How long do you keep the already made repashy in the freezer? I still have a few cubes from the last time I made it and was wondering if I should throw them out. They've been in there for 2-3 weeks.

I’ve seen a video where dean used it to feed fry.  He touched the tip of a dry paintbrush into the Repashy, then tapped it over the breeders box.

ive used repashy community plus and soilent green for feeding platy and cory fry, it works fine, floating though so you might need to agitate the water a little to get it to sink.

If the food has been frozen, I would say it is still good.

Yes, works well for fry food. Very well.

I would recommend this method for feeding powdered foods:

You can use all of them, some are more chunky than others.  I would recommend turning off equipment, letting it sink.  If you're feeding it for mid-water feeding, just be aware that it may or may not get pushed around the water column pretty easily. 

I used a little pipette and added 2-3 vials of water then added a small amount of powder and mixed it so it didn't float on the surface as easily.  Then I would feed it into moss.  It does stick and can fungus up over time if the fish don't eat it.  Don't feed a ton if you're using it for fry food, but it's going to be equivalent to use something like the easy fry food in how you use it.

Will definitely do this. I got a bunch of snails for any leftovers but I'll probably try a small amount later just to see how they like it. Thank you for all the suggestions 🙂
