Can you give me the recipe? :) My JD dislikes the beef heart food I got from LFS. I wonder if he will eat what I made instead.
 
All the new life spectrum said was it was made from brine shrimp and seaweed from unpolluted environments. It doesnt even give a nutritional breakdown. It has a pretty lable. I'll stick with Hikari and Omega 1 as my staples.
 
Omega one and hikari are my staples as well. Omega one is the only food I have seen where fish is the number one ingredient. I also like the marineland formula 2 for a flake.
 
beef heart recipe!

it was funny this morning! he usually would just wait at the bottom of the tank and then see the food and tear it up! this morning he sees me open the lid...and he's waiting at the surface...as soon as I dropped it in....he thrashed it!...poor little guy must have been hungry!


:D


btw...i didn't use shrimp...just the chicken livers and beef hearts!
it makes alot and is cheap! the most expensive part is adding the pellets....I just used goldfish flakes! small $3 can!
 
Thanks a lot, Drake Titan. I will try that recipe. Hopefully, my fish love them. They have started to become a bit picky regarding food. They have to have their Cichlid Stick and Tetra Flakes (containing mostly shrimp). Most of them will not even touch bloodworm, except for my severums.
