I made a gourmet meal for my fish. Do you think they liked it better than Repashy instant gel food?

👨‍🍳 RECIPE FOR REPASHY GEL FOOD 🍽
1) Purchase Repashy gel food - aquariumcoop.com/products/repashy-community-plus
2) Use a spoon to mix 1 part Repashy powder with 3 parts of hot water in a container. You can use the microwave or stove to boil the water, and then add the powder.
3) Wait 5-10 minutes or more (at room temperature) for the gel to set. Spoon out a chunk to serve immediately or cut into cubes to freeze for feeding later.
* You can also dip rocks, driftwood, or decor into the liquid before it sets so that grazing animals can scrape it off.
4) Gel food can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
