feeding fish

[fishforlife]

Can you make your own fish food from raw shrimp, squid, ect....

Where can i find some recipies and techniques? Also, does it cost less that buying the frozen bock of brine shrimp?

And it's more nutritious. <doesn't that word look funny typed out?

Search through the old posts, there are hundreds of them. There was even a demonstration about a year and a half back.

Don't forget to blend in some Nori.

I add a little soy sauce and spicy red **** sauce to mine. Hey I like it in my food, why wouldn't they?

Wow you can't say **** as in chicken? Well you know the stuff with the green cap right?

HEB sells a bag of mixed seafood. Its squid, octopus, shrimp, and maybe something else. Its only a few bucks. Put that bad boy in a blender with some nori and you got more fish food than you need.

I used the Marc Leveson's recipe from DFWMAS site. You get the mix sea food bag (squids,shrimps,crabmeat, mussels,) from the Asian market for about $2.89 a one pound bag. Place them in the food prossesor with some Nori seaweed (unseasoned) for about 30 second or longer depend on how fine you want it. My fishes love it. I can give you some and try it out and see if your fishe like it..LMK

How do yall keep the blenders from liquefying the seafood mix? I've tried it with all the mixed seafood from the stores and such but I always ended up with coral food because it would be liquid. If I didn't blend it as long I'd have huge unblended chunks.

Magic Bullet!

Use a food processor, not a blender. The food processor will not liquify it.

Actually, i have a mixture of liquid, small chunks, and big chunks, but that's worked out perfect for my tank. Everything should get some food, from big sohal to small wrasse and corals. You can thaw it out in a bowl of RO/DI water to filter out all the liquidfy stuff if you dont want it in your tank.

Also, when you throw it in make sure its still a little frozen. That has always helped me. :)
