Thanks, what kind of feeders are they? Smelt, other, or assorted?
What's individually frozen - not blocks mean?
Do some people actually put a bunch of feeder's in a container, top it off with water, freeze, then sell,(in blocks) to get more water weight?
they are smelt... they are individually frozen.. so you can take out as many as you need ...doubledragon;1052877;1052877 said:

how was that aroma??? i haven't done that YET!!!!
i tried rock cod, and not one of my fish even went near it, and it oiled up my tank pretty good. sand eels seem to be a great feed though, look like silversides but much skinnier.
catfish nuggets--- i was going to buy a pound for like $.99, but, it came from China, and i'm not risking it on my azuls, with all the chem-china news going around. anybody have thoughts on that?
squid seems to be a favorite as well.

I started using smelt recently and don't think they smell,hardly. Just normal fishy smell not even as strong as shrimp. Seem's to work great
and my fish love them, I cut the little bit of tail off and chop each smelt into two or three pieces depending on who I'm feeding. Give em a try.Wow smelts smell absolutely horrendous. I went to every Asian grocery store as well as normal grocery store with no luck. My bigger fish seems to like them, but they do make a mess since it's the 6" smelts and I gotta cut them up into a few pieces. I will have to suck it up until I can find a better alternative. Will probably try baby cuttlefish and squid next though.
