Making your own fish food...

[SaltwaterNuB]

Does anyone make their own fish foods? I just blended up a mixture of 5 oysters, 2 baby squids, 5 shrimp, and 5 scallops. The fish and coral seem to enjoy it. I blended with a little bit of garlic extreme. Thoughts...

I'd throw in some nori also

Ok, sounds good. Even if I already feed nori on the off feeding days...?

Probwouldn't be necessary. But would never hurt

Ok cool. I'll add it to the next batch. Hopefully around Xmas or just before. I made 3 ziplocks full.

Gregcoyote has a thread about making food. I don't know if you've read it yet. It might give you some ideals

They went bananas! I put garlic supplement in it too.

Yeah mine did the same on the second feeding. My corals loved it. What else are you feeding your corals?

We have a guy in our local reef forum here in so cal that makes it and sells it. He puts cyclopeeze in it also. Anything that a fish or coral would eat should be in there to some extent. It can't hurt. An what's good about making it is you don't have all the filler crap.
