Frozen copepods for tropical fish food?

Hey

I have started picking up frozen copepod blister packs for my saltwater dragonette to eat alomgside live.

Last two nights I have sampled a frozen half cube to my tropical fish and they go crazy for them! The pack suggests they are for marine and tropical fish but I haven't heard many people feeding pods to tropical. Any thoughts on them?

I can get a large variety of frozen and live foods at work. What is the best in people's opinion?

Thanks in advance.

They are also sold as cyclops. I feed those when I have no live food at hand.

 

Not even sure they are available in my area. Gonna have to check closer the next time i hit up the stores!

Btw: There is none. Variety is the keyword. If anything it depends on what fish are there to be fed.

That's interesting! I think I have seen cyclops packs too. Will check that out. This is TMC brand packs.

Variety makes sense. I usually feed mix of flake and Hikari sticks to my tropical. Wafers/pellets for catfish. Frozen brine shrimp occasionally and seasonal mosquito larvae.. not ventured into frozen or live foods as a staple before.

Edit. Fish are rainbows, barbs, tetras, corys, plecs, krib.

 

All my fish love frozen cyclops, it’s especially good for fry with little mouths. I also used to use it as back up for my seahorses when live was in short supply.
