The one I bought when I first started came frozen (bought it at RB) They took it out from their freezer. It's so so inconvenient... so I stopped using it already. Perhaps I should throw it away ;)

Oh I see. Prefer the live phytoplankton like DT or Aquatim, where they need to be refrigerated.

My new pair of SH bought from ah beng last week refuse to eat anything but react to artipod immediately I throw in today! Thanks Janet. Excellent product you are bringing in.

My Dispars caught in a feeding frenzy... you see how skinny they are? I've been feeding them with all sorts of food... they only eat occasionally... sometime spit out the pellets and brine shrimps... very worrying actually coz my goal is to keep all 10 of them alive... they've been with more for almost a month now :D Still 10 out of 10.

Now I only rely on Arcti-Pods™ to feed my Anthias... I will feed all my other giants with pellets first... :lol::lol::lol: Tonight, I added a few drops of Garlic Guard to further wet their appetite... let's hope that these little creatures from the Arctic Ocean can help keep my Anthias back in shape :)

I'm glad I tried it... or else... dun think my Anthias can last lor... look at their skinny bodies :cry::cry::cry:

What's bbs? Baby Brine Shrimps? ;) I do occasionally feed them live brine shrimps but getting them can be a problem for me coz everytime I walk into a LFS... I'll end up with more than a bag of LBS :erm:

DT and Aquatim are phytoplankton.

Roti feast and acrtipod are zooplankton and most sps actually feed on zooplankton only.

Do sps take acrtipod too? I thought they only take Rotifeast. :o

Need to report this to you guys... 1 thing I dislike about the Arcti-Pods™ is the fact that they are too lightweight. So everytime I feed my fishies, about 20% of them will end up floating on the water surface. Not all my fishies surface feed and a portion of the floating pods will end up in the cotton wool ;)

Use a bowl to scoop some water from your tank, drop arcti pod in the bowl then pour the whole bowl back to your tank. This solve your problem.

The only thing I dislike about it is its too delicious for my seahorse that they never stop eating it and means my pocket is going to burn hole <_<

:lol::lol::lol:

I did use a small cup to mix before pouring into the tank... they still floats ;) How long do you think a bottle can last us? I hope I don't have to buy this too often... as the stocks can be very limited also :nc:

Off all pumps when you feed then.

Can I buy 5ml from you to feed my pipefish?
