wasp Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Do you know something I don't? WTF? Pie :lol: That's funny! Jimmy, basically making your own food is cheap, and easy as, plus good for the fish. You just get live mussels, which are fine on their own, but if you wish you can add shrimp, crab, roe, pipi, etc, plus nori. Get all the ingredients fresh, not processed in any way as chemicals may be added. Some people don't cook them, but I find it easier to cook the mussels lightly, then either blend, or freeze and grate on a cheese grater. If you blend in a blender, wash the food in water and pour off or seive to remove fine stuff to small for the fish to eat, that will only add pollution to the tank (can make good coral food in small amounts though). Keep in the deep freeze and serve daily. Your fish will thrive on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pies Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Beware of mussles. VERY high in Nitrate and p04. Nothing wrong with them, but feed sparingly, especially if your struggling with Nitrate and Po4. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazymranch Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I saw a pretty cool recipe on how to make frozen food pellets using gelatin and mussels, prawns, etc. I plan to give it a go this weekend. Anyone havee any advice for me before I get into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Yes, avoid the gelatin. Sorry about that it's a bummer when a plan gets shot down but your better without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I use Gelitine (sp?) in mine, as per the Base recepie from Bob Fenner and Eric bourneman. Not sure if its needed or not, maybee i'll try it without next time. Also greens are under-utlilised in foods. Add heaps of spirilina flake and Nori into the mix. Good luck, hard to belive you can go wrong with it. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
