kens flake fish?

[twofronts]

Just received my order of kensflake food and boy is it sure a hell of lot cheaper than buying from the store. Anyways how are you fellow kensflake food peeps breaking up the flakes. They come in large sheets, also how are you folks storing it once open.


Thanks.

I have a half dozenwide mouth quart size plastic jars. (Miracle Whip)  They hold about 8 oz of flake food each.
I cut one corner off the 1/2# bag, crush the bag by hand and pour into 2 jars.

I use my old flake containers and seal the bag the best I can and store in a file cabinet. I just break the flake into smaller pieces with my hand. I use the small stuff for fry. I usually have alot of his cichlid sticks mixed in with the flake as well. Great food my fish really like it.

I use old cold-cut tupperware. I like feeding the large flakes to my fish. They will grab the flake and swim away with it as they try to eat it, and like a blanket it in the wind it will cover their face. Sometimes two trophs will get into a tug of war with a large flake as well. It makes for great entertainment!

I'm feeding the Veggie Flake and the Pure Spirulina Flake.

yea i found that a large rubbermaid conainer work pretty good for it. Keeps it so far air tight, and hold alls the flakes.  The flake are easy enough to pull out an sheet and break over the tank for desired flake size. So far they seem to love it. I order two pounds so they came in pretty good shape. I think i will make next order some pure spirulina to mix with the veggie flake, thanks for the insight all.

they ate it so well it never made it to the ground.

Hmmm...I have ordered severl times, and get the special Tropical flake. It comes not powdered, not in sheets, just sorta regular size. After a while there is a level of small almost powdered flake on the bottom, I mix it with the liver fry flake and feed my smallest fish with it.
I don't have but 1 Cichlid, and it doesn't like Cichlid pellets; it does the Jaws thing on the Tropical flake.
My Angels can't get enough of the STF, and when I feed them their heads are outa the water to their eyes gulping their food.
I feed them a good bit, they seem to be hungry critters.

have been feedin now for for a couple of days the trophs seem to love it. The are still getting accustomed to it so i am feeding little by little. Fighting bloat is like fighting cancer.
