sarah Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Has anyone here ever used Repashy Super Green? Reading the description, it seems like it might be a great food for my nerites, since it's vegan and algae-full: http://www.store.repashy.com/super-green-4-oz-bag-wholesale.html Mine have rejected all algae wafers and veggies offered to date. I was thinking of smearing this onto a rock and creating a place for them to graze. Has anyone here tried something like this before?

Nubster Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I use Shrimp Souffle and the snails love it. But I don't have nerites. Just MTS and pond snails. sarah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I have tried using the product as directed and my snails and shrimps would not touch it. I saw a post about shrimps skewers and bostoneric (aka www.DiscoBee.com) explained how you can use Rapashy to make these. Once I did that my shrimps and snails go crazy for it. The explanation is on page two. I use Morning Wood and after I dip the skewers and they harden up, I lay them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and dry them out in my oven at 170 degrees. Takes about a half hour sometimes less depending on how thick it coats the skewer. sarah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishface Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I use a lot of Repashy for my catfish and my RC shrimp and assassin snails love it (Soilent Green, Super Green, Morning Wood, Bottom Scratcher, etc.) The assassins even go for the vegetarian stuff. I don't do anything other than drop chunks of the stuff in the tank and they all converge on it. sarah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Where do you guys buy your Repashy? I can't find anywhere online where shipping doesn't cost 50% of the product. I don't even know if this will be eaten, so I'm reluctant to spend $15 just to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nubster Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I got mine from Inverts By MsJinkzd (Rachel O’Leary). http://msjinkzd.com/stocklist/ sarah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Thanks! I'm obsessed with her videos. Great to hear she has it since I was about to order some fish anyway I don't see them listed on that page, so I'll send her an email.

Soothing Shrimp Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 You may want to see if anyone is willing to send you a sample in the market section. sarah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I just wanted to update this - I ordered the Super Green from Rachel O'leary, along with a snail and a few fish that I've been eyeing for a while! She is such a pleasure to deal with! I have been emailing her back and forth with questions about the fish and about getting my water parameters right (and also months ago about setting up a quarantine tank), and she writes back so quickly and is so informative and knowledgeable. I haven't even gotten my fish yet, but I can't recommend her enough! seaj, Soothing Shrimp, oem and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Fish and snail look awesome (and she gave me an extra fish for free)! I can't wait to make up some repashy-coated rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I covered the top surface of a piece of rough granite rock with it today, and as soon as I dropped it in the water all the Repashy just slid right off and made a mess It did all get eaten by my cory catfish and Amanos, though!

Once you get the oven warm just turn it off and it will dry. At first it may look like its melting but dont worry about and it may take you a couple of tries depending on your oven. You have to work fast and pour the repashy in a shallow pan. If it stars to harden up, let it. The repashy hardens like a gummy candy and will peel away from the pan, you can reheat in the microwave to re-soften it. sarah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
