The M.R Recipe show down...post ur fish food recipies, (pics plz of product) dosent make a difference wat type of tank (ie; lps,sps, F.O or frogs) and possibly at the end we will have a vote and show down...

 

[SlamaJama]

ill go first...
My recipe is as follows:

10 medium shrimp (shelled)
2 bay scallops
2 clams
1 squid (cleaned )
6 cubes mysis (from house GB )
4 cubes cyclopese (from house GB )
2 tablespoons formula 1
4 sheets nori ( soaked )
1-3 cups of tank water (for consistancy )

shrimp, scallops, clams and squid go into food processor (or blender) with 1-2 cups tank water and i use the "chop" button 5x, untill its to the size my inhabitants need, and remaining tank water if nessesary...then i add soaked nori, cyclo, mysis, form 1, and mix.
freeze over night flat on a baking sheet...cut and feed.
i usually melt it down before feeding...

i have a 125G with aprox 15 med fish, ( including the 2 tangs that need veggies in there diet) and this batch will last me at least 3 months feeding 2x daily. OBTW, THIS MIX COST ME $5.64 TO MAKE.

if need be, ill take rabbi's food to my tank (im sure the fish will spit it out venomously) and his will gobble up my fish food...im sure thats wats going to happen

Maybe someone should add fish poop to their recipe. Maybe it's a fish delicacy.

he has MY recipe...lol

ice cube trays...nice..u think thy have mini cubes trays?

 

[Reefer420]

since the ingredients are pretty arbitrary anyway, why not simply mix ALL of the posted receipes into one super receipe?

 

[marrone]

It's very easy to settle this, everyone send me some of their food and I'll feed it to my fish. I'll let you everyone know how my fish like it. :biggrin:

I think what is missing is some form of vitamins in the mix. You could probably soak the shrimp/clam/ squid in it first and then before adding them to the mix.

 

[Deanos]

u think thy have mini cubes trays?

I take tuna with a sesame seed, garlic, salt, pepper and soy sauce rub tossed on a hot grill for 1 one minute on each side. You can add a pinch of lemon if you like. Real simple and real good. I also like a blackened sole with a curried spinach and great northern beans but that is a bit more complicated.

I use to mix my food with Vita-Chem but a multi-vitamin would also work. I'm sure they are some better vitamins formular that you can buy. Also some people put in fish/crab Roe into their mixes.
