Luckily i made a big batch and freezed to so I wont have to do that again for atleast another month. Try this if you want to scare away friends and family.

Ira Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Oh, and fins you can't claim to have done the most disgusting thing until you've tried sucking on the hose from a cannister filter trying to get it running and suck up a plug of algae and gunk that was in the hose...Been there, done that.

Alan_au Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Do you know I gave up egg yolk back in the 1950's when I dicovered euglna, paramesium,vinegar eels, micro worms and brine shrimp!!,,,, a good food but high risk. More disasters than success. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I have used egg yoke on Alan's advice and it worked very well. Fry loved it and looked fat and healthy. I used cooled boiled water and squeezed it through a hanky. Dont think I had a single loss during that stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
