    I fed that to my fishes a while back, but had since stopped, my fishes love them, in fact, I used up the entire box (10 pieces of don't know how many cubes each)

    Perhaps you can try to put the frozen cube in a small net, place it under running water for a while, then feed them to your fishes.

    Frozen brine shrimp don't attract fish that much, compared to live brine shrimp. Fishes tend to react to movement in the water. Bossteck's method with the net and running water is good though.
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
    Back to Killies... slowly.

    But I must say I am quite surprised to learn that in Memnoch's case, even the SAE is showing little interest.

    I have the same situation as Memnoch... Some fishes are real picky after taken to certain foods...

    My black neons will never touch frozen mysis shrimps and only bloodworm... So it is a good feed for my apistogrammas...

    Acquired taste. But it can be encouraged greatly with some fasting

    Water content in frozen bs is too high and they don't contain much nutrition. Quality dried food like tetrabits serve better. Can feed them occasionally.
