[Vjarn]

hi, i have just bought three beef hearts for my discus and was hoping anyone could tell me how to prepare them, i know that i should cut off the fat but how do i mince them, what about the juices, cook???? or uncooked????. cheers

[Brianemone]

uncooked, minced verry very small peices (not juiced )

once i get a mincer i'll be visiting the butcher for some beefheart (and some pork mmmmmmm le salsiccie siciliane)

Chop into small pieces, then deep freeze the lot together.

Use a cheese-grater to get the amount you wish to feed.

You could grate a larger amount and then put that into serving size paks.

(medical-tablet bubbles).

ewh, grating raw, frozen meat!!! excuse me whilst I run to the bathroom quickly... :lol:

You can also put it in a blender, chop it up fine then freeze it in sheets and break off whatever you want to feed out.

go the grater, it works really well. good for smaller fish.

I used a food processor to mince up some ox heart. Don't forget to do a water change afterwards also as it fouls your water pretty quick. You can also lace with some garlic as a parasite preventative and freeze it.

I cut mine into strips and then free flow it, keeps the pollution level down and not waste bits floating around.

I just grate mine frozen too.

i freeze it straight from the supermarket then grate it, little grater for the little fish, cheese grater for the big fish, seems to work ok
