Pies Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 In the weekend I made up some more homemade fish food. Total cost was about $9.00. I got a small piece of Hoki (thats a fish!) with no skin or fatty back, 6 scollops, 6 mussles, 2 large prawns, 100g small cocktail prawns (pink), 1 packet of frozen (thawed) adult brine shrimp, a small amout of green seaweed (from asian food store), a small amount of red sea weed (asian food store). I chopped it all into various sizes, small and large. I used everything, shrimp heads and tails, mussle 'tounge' etc. I then mixed into a bowl. I then made up about 1/3 a glass of gelitine and added this. I then scooped out some and put it into a 'collander' and let drip for a few seconds to drain excess juice before spooning into a zip lock bag (used free ones from BNZ bank for coins). Flattened and added to freezer. Fed some to my fish last night, and saw something I have never seen before. My Coral Beauty ate some. Feeding was frantic and aggressive, more than usual, and the Coral Beauty was in there mixing it up with everything else. I have NOT seen this fish eat anything added to the tank since i've had it. Nice to know it eats prepared food like everything else! I only feed frozen 1 or 2 times a week, as its high in nitrate and phosphates, but the fish sure do love it. Just thought i'd share my recipe Pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
