Depends on what you want to put in it. I do white fish, squid or octo, some minced nori, and clams. Add vitamins, garlic, and micofoods as needed.

Then what mash it up?

+1 on the homemade foods.. take all of your ingredients and blend them up in a blender . Then put it in little Ziploc bags and spread it into a thin sheet of food. After that put it in the freezer so it freezes in a sheet and you can break off and thaw your own frozen fish food. My fish love it!

Hmmm what kind of vitamins should you add? This sounds interesting and much more cost effective.

Mr. X brought up the topic of homemade food and due to the reuests, started the above thread. obviously you don't have to stick to his recipe 100% but its prob a good idea to get close. as for the amount, I started off with 1/8 lb of each and it made me an entire sandwich ziplock of food...
