Which Repashy?
What Repashy mixes do you recommend for my pet?
The names and labels of some Repashy varities can be confusing & there are some myths out there such as bristlenose not needing Morning Wood if they have driftwood for example.
Mixing different Repashy varities together is generally the best way to go to get a complete & balanced diet.
I’ve tested many mixes and ratios over the years and along with my animal nutrition studies I believe these are the best mixes. This list will be added to regularly & if your animal doesn’t appear below please ask me what I recommend;
Igapo Explorer is great to mix up or substitute for Grub Pie or Bottom Scratcher

Repashy is easy to make & tips/common mistakes are:
Use boiling water straight out of the kettle. No more than three measures of boiling water to one measure of powder.
Use a whisk to stir
If you wish to add your existing pellets/flake etc add just before you finish stirring
Set in the fridge
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 weeks or freezer for 6 months.
Unused powder is fine in the sealed tub in the cupboard for 5 years past the best before date
