I have a pretty big anubias barteri in the background. I would say it's 3-4 inches across. Repashy is a gelatin-type food -- you prepare the dry mix with hot water and then it will set into whatever mold you place it in. It's soft and slightly jiggly. I think you can make it more of a gel if you use a higher proportion of water.
I used a bowl and then cut a piece of it and place it into my pond. This piece was about 1/4 inch thick, and maybe 1"x2" across. The corys looooove it since it sinks and they can graze on it over a long time without it ruining the water (maybe 24h). Since this was at the middle depth of my pond, resting on a rock, the surface and mid-column fish also seemed to come and have some nibbles, too. Especially since near the torn edges it is thinner and I think easier for them to get a bite.
Thank you for the reply! I was at the LFS last night and they had similar advice and as much praise. I will begetting some today for the loaches and corys.
Thank you again for helping to improve the quality of life in Fishadelphia.
It’s my pleasure. If you do it get a video or picture of them enjoying it 🙂
Will do!
