Seen an article on a new brand of Cyclops I found by a Company called Zoo Med
. Was able to track some down at concepts , petland have it on their website but could not find it in store. Plus concepts was quit a bit cheaper . They have it for $8 after tax per can now keep in mind you have only 7 days to use the can after opening . Here is some info from the site
Additional Information:
Fresh Cyclops are "cooked in the can" to lock in nutrients.
So have used a few other brands of cyclops but none were as good as the red stuff we use to get , the freeze dried or frozen . It seems all the newer stuff is brown in color and my pipefish wont touch it . However the zoo med cyclops is more red and first time using it my pipefish ate it and she is really picky on what pieces of food she will eat. Been using it for 3 days now my pipe has eaten it each night and my dendros seem to like it . My staghorn hermit has been eating it as well. So if you have picky eaters/smaller fish or pipes I would give it a shot , product is quality only drawback is having to use it in a week , so most likely I will be throwing half a can out but for the quality and it not being frozen I still think its worth its price .
