peety Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Anyone make their own? I have some recipes for discus food using turkey, or beefheart. I add blenderized frozen fish to my tank which gets eaten, and I have recently made some processed carrot stuff for my kina, which the tropical fish really love too. Anyone else make their own? Kina recipe: 3 cups chopped carrot 3 giant prawns (shell and head included) 3 mussels 1 egg (shell included) 2 vitamin pills 4 spiralina pills 6 cloves of garlic (unpeeled) 5 teaspoons of agar 1 cup water Blend til smooth Cook in microwave, stirring, until boiling. freeze.

Oscar Sheila Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 6 cloves of garlic (unpeeled) I can't imagine a fish would eat it with garlic in it. Would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Fish don't seem to care about garlic. It is really good at reducing / stopping intestinal parasites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peety Posted July 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Garlic is recommended in all discus foods..... In fact they even eat it raw apparently,(i'll test it myself now, ...just dropped a clove in, i'll see how it goes overnight), nope smelly frog breath seems ok with the fish, they certainly fight over this little cocktail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 My homemade food I basically just throw in whatever I can find. Beefheart, liver, fish, carrots, spinach, a couple vitamin pills, brewers yeast, duckweed, garlic, spirulina powder, gluten flower to bind it all together.

peety Posted August 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 The garlic clove (didn't even chop it, just a bash then in the tank), is just about gone. The bristlenose seem to love it, guess they don't use those noses for smelling then... I think i'll add one regularly now since all the fish had a go at it and it never got slimey or dissolved..... peety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
