nice! i've been wondering about those liquid vitamins, is it really worth it?

I figured they would just wash off soonas the food hits the water.

I let the vitamin soak into the meat for an hour or 2 before I freeze it, that way it doesn't all come off like an oil slick when it hits the water :o Granted I can't quantify exactly how much of a difference it makes, just figured it was worth adding even if it makes a marginal difference. This is a new mix for me but the test batch I dropped in tonight got scarfed down in record time. There is something a little disturbing about all the little silverside heads all over the tank bottom though hahaha

We bought snail shells at Wal-Mart a few days ago and fed the chopped up snails around the fish room... polys were very happy :cool:

Yep. Make a mix of tilapia, basa, bloodworm, crushed Massivore and crushed NLS TheraA into a gel food. Mainly fed to my polys, TT eel, and BGK, sometimes as a conditioning food for my green tiger barbs.

I might have to try out some snails next time around, how much of a pain are they to prepare?

The gel sounds really cool, I've read your posts on it and I might have to give it a shot for a fire eel I've got in growout to see if I can condition it to go for pellets :o
 
I wonder if adding all that and vitachem will work? Maybe add some seachem garlic.
Probably, I'm sure even if you soak it it gets diluted when it thaws and while it's in the tank. I'll probably put some of the garlic stuff in there next time. Just wanted to test out the mix first, but the garlic would probably make it even more attractive to the polys
