Marine Fish Food Recipe

[dtd87]

I'd like to make my own freezeable food for my fish, I saw a recipe on here about a day ago and I've searched and searched last couple of hours and now I can't find it. So does anyone have a recipe they use to feed there fish that I can copy Thanks

squid
octopus
shrimp
scallops
raw fish fillet
oysters
selcon
garlic
cyclopeeze
and a squirt of oyster feast (reef nutrition)
and lightly thin out with R/O water

OH and if you have blenny's or tangs throw in like 4 sheets of nori

I also add pellets and flake to the mix with reef roids for the corals so everything gets to east all the time. it is kinda just make your own concoction

Kevin (kevinpo) has a good recipe that he has posted on his website - http://www.aquaticdreams.biz/fish-food-recipe - I generally use this, plus I add some Selcon for good measure.

I just made a batch last weekend - 4 scallops, 8 large prawns, 1 calamari steak, thawed and rinsed squid, slightly steamed organic broccoli florets, 2 garlic cloves and 6 sheets of nori. I use whatever shellfish is fresh & not farm raised.
