Hi guys... it's me again... introducing another product out there in the market...

Basically they are just another fish/corals food range in this already very saturated market... there are 1001 brands out there and the reason why I am trying it is because "I ran out of DT's Phytoplankton :lol::lol::lol: "

For those of you interested in this product, can PM me... but I shall not reveal the price as you can always check it out at the LFS (I hope you know where to find... look under SRC Sponsor... tips: Name starts with an A ends with an E)

As usual... I will maintain this thread for a couple of weeks to monitor closely the pros and cons that these 2 products bring... coz I always believe in the longer effect of things... can't really tell in a day or two.

For those bros and sis already using these products... feel free to join in :)

All are welcome... (as usual) :bow::bow::bow:

bro, thanks for another product review...

No problem... since I have so much time... I guess I'll do the industry better than to keep posting photographs of my tiny little tank on my 10000 pages thread :snore::snore::snore:

Formality sake... let me start with some text extracted from their website www.reed-mariculture.com

Arcti-Pods™ Marine Copepods Concentrate

Marine Copepods from the Arctic Ocean

:ooh: 3,000 - 6,000 microns in size (roughly 6X Cyclopeeze)

:ooh: Incredible Omega 3 / Omega 6 nutritional profile!

:ooh: Fish go CRAZY for them!

:ooh: Can be fed to almost any reef organism that eats frozen mysids

:ooh: 80% feeding success rate with mandarin gobies

Arcti-Pods™ are super-concentrated marine copepods from ARCTIC OCEAN (Calanus finmarchicus, 3000-6000 microns). Arcti-Pods™ are extremely rich in carotenoids, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and protein. In the wild they provide the base of much of the marine food chain.

Excellent feed for fish, LPS corals and more...

Pix: Must be stored in a refrigerator, normally can last around 3 months upon date of purchase (date of expiry clearly printed on the bottle)... also totally sealed :)

Here's how concentrated it is... just a few (pix showing 5 to 6) drops... turned into hundreds of tiny marine copepods... don't play play leh :evil: from the ARCTIC one leh :evil: Too bad they ain't moving... or else more shocking :blink:

To me... this is by far the most delicious and most edible-looking fish food... the colour is right, the smell is good... reminds me so much of shrimp row... oh my favourite sushi... EBIKKO :lol::lol::lol:

They claim that the FISHES WILL GO CRAZY :evil::evil::evil: But unfortunately all my fishes still very sane lor... just excited only lar... I think CRAZY is too much of an overstatement lor :lol::lol::lol:

I tried it using my 10 Dispar Anthias... coz they are the most picky eaters in my entire tank... what I successfully achieved was all 10 Anthias together with other fishes follow my syringe tube around... round and round... and every time I release a bit or Arcti-Pods™... they get all excited... so today is just like an introduction... can't really feed fully coz I just fed them with Live Brine Shrimp I bought from AM :lol:

I'm sure a lot of you guys will compare this with Cyclopeeze... well it's actually quite a different thing lor... they are 6 times larger than Cyclopeeze and as far as I can see... my Dispar prefers Arcti-Pods™ coz they are more bit size... it's good to see my Dispar eating so greedily coz they are still way too underweight :(

Note: I don't usually feed my fishes using a plastic rod... so the result is definitely not based on habit :)

Bro Altantis... off your Tunze 9005... or else all will go to its tummy instead... all feeding? Any fishes refuse to take Arcti-Pods™?

Oh yeah that TETRA ad campaign is so so :sick::sick::sick: especially those horrible fibreglass giant goldfishes on top of SBS busses ;)

I'm back... and tonight I tried feeding the Arcti-Pods™ direct from the bottle... the fishes get excited again but a lot of the marine pods actually float on the water surface... so some picky eaters got a bit lazy to try to reach for the pods... so it's better to premix the pods in a small container before pouring it into a high flow area... that way sand dwellers can also get a fair share of the yummy pods :lol:

Hehe... just experimenting :)

Time to feed Roti-Feast™ tonight... my usual plastic container (courtesy of bro Maxstar btw)... the colour and smell is not as "yummy" as Arcti-Pods™ but marine rotifer planktons are really really tiny...

My Suns enjoying the marine pods... actually it is so hard to find Suns food that is as convenient as this... I sometimes get very lazy thawing the frozen food... especially those phytoplankton that needs to be frozen... it's so hard to remove a bit from the bottle without thawing the entire bottle... I's sure you know which brand I am referring to ;)
