Favorite Food for Bottom Feeders: Repashy Gel Food Yes, there are super picky eaters that probably still won’t eat this food, but give it a try and it could save you a lot of time and headache. Plus, they’re packed with ingredients including fish, krill, cuttlefish, insects, and garlic for a great mix of nutrition and color-enhancing benefits.
