    I thought that was the idea...free fish food.

    Pods love filter sox...food, shelter, safety.

    OFK, there really isn't a better food for many fishes.

    Yes very good, but I was thinking in getting the numbers up in the sump first maybe before I fed them to the fish, not sure if I have a few or a abundance

    What you can do is take some LR rubble and make "pod piles" in your tank...the fish can't get at the pods easily and the pods have some shelter.
