Home made Clownfish Food?

[TheHotOne]

I'm pretty interested in making my own fish food now, instead of just buying the normal frozen stuff. I was thinking I could get some stuff from my local grocery store and blend them all together. Once the ingredients are all blended and chopped together I could freeze them in small cubes. I would be mixing raw shrimp, raw cod, raw scallops, etc. Does this sound like a healthy combination? If anyone has a recipe for home made fish food please do share.

I use clam, shrimp, fish, scallops, squid, a couple sheets nori, and some rotifers. I don't blend them, but I hand chop them finely on a cutting board. The mixture gets all mixed up and then I add it to plastic sandwich bags. They get zipped shut and put in the freezer. Add the mixture so when you lay the bag on its side, it is only 3/8" thick at most.

When you want to feed it, just break off a piece and thaw it in tank water. Feed your fish, corals, and anemones with a turkey baster.

Sounds like a good combination. How do you get the seaweed sheets in it? I assume you just break off little pieces right? Thank you

 

[NirvanaFan]

yup. Just rip it into tiny sheets.

If you blend them do it intermittently so the heat doesn't cook the ingredients.

Good deal, more than likely I will just hand chop the ingredients now.
