Feeding bullies a varied diet

[Silverdollarboy2]

My common bullies are growing very well and are eating lamb heart but I would like to feed them something else.

What should I try?

 

[kiwiraka]

Backswimmers, water boatmen, flies and mosquito larvae. And raw shrimp or prawns.

Thanks

Bloodworms are also good for a treat.

[Silverdollarboy2]

I feed them along with frozen brine shrimp sometimes.

I get quite a few live bloodworms in my mosquito larvae tubs, my fish also love water beetle larvae and other pond bugs.

try new life spectrum pellets for there general dry food then spoil them with bloodworms, or live brine shrimp

or you could master chef it

2 lbs. of cleaned beef heart

1 1/2 lbs. of fresh cod, scrod, or peeled table shrimp.

4 egg yolks (no whites)

20 prenatal vitamins

1 cup of wheat germ

1- 2.75 ounce bottle of Tetra "Color Bits" (from your pet store)

1 cup of ground up freeze-dried krill or plankton (from your pet store)

1/4 teaspoon of spirulina powder (from your health food store)

2 packs of Knox Gelatin

Have flake food on hand if the mixture is the wrong consistency.

Sounds interesting, what consistency would you be aiming for?

Nevermind I found it

Clean all fat, veins, and sinew from the beef heart, and cube into one-inch squares. Puree beef heart and fish separately in a food processor. Mix the beef heart, fish and egg yolks together. In a blender, grind up all of the dry ingredients to powder and add to the beef heart, fish and egg yolks and mix together. In the blender, blend the gelatin with one cup of cold water on high speed until it thickens (about 3-5 minutes), and immediately mix into the beef heart mix. If the mixture is too runny, add flake food until it is a doughy consistency. If it is too dry, then add water. Freeze prepared beef heart mix flat in small zip-lock bags about a half-inch thick.
