Who would be interested in Rods Food if I could talk one of the LFS to carry it? Its not really cheap but everyone I know that uses it says ALL their fish go crazy for it (including CORALS). Let me know Im already talking to Rod about getting info to some of the LFS.

Not familiar with it. Any info available? I'm always up for some new type of "treat" for the tank.

http://www.rodsfood.com/ Its big on the East Coast do to his location (Ill) but everyone I have spoken with think its CRACK for fish and corals. I plan on using it with my clowns since Im planning on selling my 300 gallon.

Looks pretty interesting to me. I'd be up for trying some, since I'm overall too lazy to mix my own frozen food like some of our more industrious OMAS members. And I use so little that if I ever did make a full batch, it would probably go bad in the freezer before I could ever use it all.

I make my own but it is a hassle sometimes. If the fish and coral really go as crazy for this stuff as people are saying it will be well worth a few extra dollars.

I might be interested. How much is the food?

I believe that 6 oz of the stuff is roughly around $15-$20 but its food for your fish and corals.

Oh and if you figure out the cost of all the foods in there it is a bargain!!!!!

I like Jarrods mix myself.We made 17 quart sized bags for 60 bucks.

tpdpercula · #12 12/22/2007, 02:36 PM

$60 bucks is not bad but would probably cost you about three times that amount if you used the same things that are in the other food. Well either way Im going to order some on line just for my clowns.

Well my recipe is from 2 different world renowned authors but I guess Rod must have the secret for the best food out there.

I still have some of the food we made at the meeting at the Princes' house. I can't remember the speaker's name at the moment!!!

It had a lot of great things in it. Worst part about making your own is the stench. oooohh wee that was nasty.
