Rod's Food - dumb question
- Thread starter mzreenie
- Start date
Why add more? I'm just curious because Rod's has both in it. Below are the pages that list the ingredients for each of the "current" blends:
Original Blend
HERBIVORE BLEND
FISH ONLY BLEND
PREDATOR BLEND
CORAL BLEND
I'll switch out to something different now and then (scallops etc) just to add "variety" but I don't supplement Rod's at all.
Has anyone ever proven that the garlic actually does any good? I remember reading some articles that it really serves no purpose, other than in Italian foods.
And it gives you (and probably your fish to) what I like to call "DRAGON BREATH". :chomp: :chomp: :chomp: :chomp:

Thats good enough for me.
BigAl07,
There was a post with a recipe for mush and freezing it in a mini ice cube tray. Did you ever try that and how was it compared to Rods?

I used to make my own mush but then I found "Rod's". It has more ingredients than I was using and it's WAY easier to just thaw a small chunk out than to go through the trouble of making my own MUSH!
When I'm going out of town I make pre-measured food pucks using Ice Trays. The small tanks (10g & 12g) use the MINI cube and the 90g using standard sized cubes.

Never heard of it - in the UK I feed Gamma foods, Nano Marine Cuisine to be exact!

I picked up some Rod's Original yesterday, this stuff is not cheap but then again, nothing in this hobby is cheap!! I will say that all of the fish loved it!!
$20 for one pouch. Lasts me at least 5 months. Pretty cheap IMO

Most fish are attracted to it's taste. It doesn't have a health benefit it is just bait.
That's what I've read too - no health benefit - just an appetite stimulant if anything.
That is exactly what it is for...Some sick fish will not eat and because they wont eat the medicated food garlic is used to encourage them to eat. So many people associate the garlic to the meds and assume that the garlic has benificial value when it does not.

Just think if you had garlic breath; it keeps the fish from getting too close to each other
