Repashy and rays

So I started to feed my one tank the meat pie gel from Repashy. I began to introduce the gel in small cut up pieces about ten minutes before I would do a regular feeding and to my surprise 4 days later the 3 rays in the tank are all eating this. I didn't alter my regular feedings at all yet but will start to slowly decrease my regular feedings and up the gel. I'm not sure yet at how much of the gel it will take to give them that full feeling or how long the full feeling will last yet but I'm guessing it would be somewhere near the same amount as shrimp. As far as the gel causing any mess in the tank during feeding I have not noticed anything different than shrimp and maybe even less of a mess. I will need a longer trial period to see how quick it dirtys the filters. So far in the initial stages I am more than impressed with it and am looking forward to seeing how it will work long term. I will start doing some different tests with it as the rays become used to it. So far the fish in the tank that are eating this are my male and female scobina, a small hybrid ray, an FRT, a frontosa, a king kong parrot, 2 irwinni cats, and a dat. The only fish not eating this yet is my mbu puffer. I've used this in my girlfrrends communiy tank and my chiclid tank and all thesh in these tanks are eating it. Which includes a pea puffer in the community tank. I'll keep you guys posted as I try dfferent things. One other note is if this is as filling as shrmp it will work out to being cheaper.
 
Interesting. I look forward to hearing a updates on its progress. I suspect a full 3 month diet on it would be best to compile the best review on this food for rays.
 
Interesting Scott, please keep it update so I will look into switching or have it mix to ray diet as well. Is it same price as massivore or NLS?
 
I used repashy to raise a few hundred geo fry, they grew fast. Great to hear it seems to work with rays.
 
Wow that's great that the scobs are finally eating and that you're not having to resort to live (blackworms) feeds.

Just ordered some myself and I'm going to give it a try for some fry that I'm growing out.
 
Veddy cool to hear! If anyone is looking for REPASHY products, check our website out for info, and to purchase online. We are REPASHY SUPERFOODS Authorized Dealer.
 
I would love to get some good info on water parameters and other things once they are more established but as of the last year my record keeping has went down to nil so I would really have nothing to compare things to. The only thing that I can use is what I can see visually. So I would be very delighted if everything stayed the same but if things get better also that would be even better. I won't be switching this tank to an exclusive Repashy diet but will be fading out pellets on it totally. I doubled the Repashy today and one ray ate it almost exclusively and the other two ate alot more than the other day. I'm still adding talapia and shrimp after the Repashy. I'll have to find out if I can get something bigger than a 64 oz bag if this works out for me, lol.
 
The nice thing about the gel is it does not break down in the water like pellets. The gel stays together keeping all the goodies and nutrition in. 64oz is the largest size you can get in the Meat Pie.

Glad they liked it and grew well for you :)

I've raised a lot of fry on it as well over the past few months and every fish I feed the stuff to goes nuts over it.

Again for anyone wanting some I sell (and am an authorized retailer) and have free shipping for the members here just use coupon code AROMEMBER during the checkout. http://www.canadapleco.com/store/

The 64oz size as stated above is the largest size. I sell it for $95 and it makes about 32 pounds of gel. How does that compare to massivore price wise, not really sure.
 
So every tank I feed this too is going nuts over it. I do cut this up usually according to the size of the fish but I'm now trying out blocks of it to see if that works.
 
Ive found the easiest way to make it is to make a larger batch, and pour it onto a cookie sheet to cool. Then you can easily cut it into whatever sizes you like, put in a tupperware container and use when you need.
 
So I just unthawed a frozen batch and my rays don't really seem to like it once it has been frozen as much. They go through alot so no real need to freeze it I guess.
