Oceanparadise1 Home made fish food

4 ounces peeled shrimp
2 ounces clams
2 ounces mussels
2 ounces oysters
2 ounces spinach
1/4 clove of garlic
2 teaspoons of coral frenzy
2 ounce frozen brine
2 ounce of chopped krill
2 ounces of frozen mysis
2 ounce of vitiam C
1 packet of gelatin


Thaw any thing frozen, chop up shrimp and put everything in blender. Stop when solids are small enought for your fish and corals, but use the pulse setting. Take a small piece of egg crate and place on top of wax paper. Pour food into the egg crate and freeze. Now you have home made fish and coral cubes!!

 

Bet that smells great blending

Sounds like a good mixture - I may have to give that recipe a try sometime fish react well to it?

 

My fish go NUTS over this no joke. As soon as it enters the water every coral as well goes nuts, i have to put food on the left middle and right side of the tank bc they will fight over it

 

what is the reason for the 1 packet of gelatin

 

It helps keep everything together

 

what brand brand of gelatin do you use and i think the egg crate idea is grate

 

The cheapest brand at wegmans or tops lol, thanks i love the egg crate idea bc its the perfect size cube!

 

Nice diy food. Can get very expensive buying all of that stuff initially, but it probably would last a year easy. I feed Rods Reef food myself with a mixture of flakes and pellets. The rods contains mostly all of the above and more. I love the egg crate cube idea. Thats pretty original.

 

Ocean, you MadMan, where do you buy all of this stuff. Fresh, frozen, canned, all-of-the-above?

 

LOL i try to get everything fresh, i like rods but this is basically the same minus the fish eggs which u could add and i have added before! I just go to the local sea food market and grab it!! I also some times add crab legs!
