Homemade fish food

[kribbz]

i made some fish food today. it consisted of about a dozen shrimp, handful of scallops, some small bait fish i found at the store, 4 sheets of Nori, some egg yolk (for protien) couple differnt kinds of flake foods, brine shrimp, mysid shrimp, bird vitamin ground up, some tank water and i think thats it. i put most of it in the blender and blended it up. saved some of the shrimp, fish and scallops for later so they wouldn't be completly mashed. then poured it all into bags about a quarter inch thick. just to try it out i put some of the liquid directly into the tank and the fish went NUTS. also the corals/anemone seemed to be grabing alot of the food that fell on them as well. i think that this is definatly the way to go. there are only two things i don't like: one the smell is discusting, terrible! two your skimmer goes absolutly crazy if you over feed. i put a little to much in that first time and man did my skimmer go nuts.
