How to Make Repashy Gel Fish Food Like a Pro - Soilent Green for Bristlenose Plecos

Shout out to my boy Keith from KJE Aquatics for custom ordering this GIANT can of Repashy for me: https://kjeaquatics.com/

Let's see how many pounds of gel food I can make from this 4.4 lb can of dry powder... The answer: 24 Pounds of fish food! WOW! If your plecos are starving or if you are just letting them eat algae you are doing them a disservice. They NEED to EAT a TON of FOOD! If you consider a food to body mass conversion of 10:1, this jar will product 2.4 lb of pleco body mass and eggs, that's a TON of babies!

How to Culture MILLIONS of Vinegar Eels Like a Pro!

Take a look as I create a dozen vinegar eel cultures. This is a very simple process and the resulting live culture is one of the least expensive and easiest to care for. I let mine sit for 6 months before I begin to use them, and they will continue to produce for a year or more. Thanks to Andrew for the Bottles!
