beefheart recipe

I basically put beefheart into a blender (amount is up to you) along with zucchini and peas.

I then blend it up into a mixture and the place it in bags. I freeze the bags flat on the freezer floor and there you have it.

You just made your own beefheart mix

You can add other stuff to the mix but that is all I like to add.

would that diet be ok for oscars???

It's great for Oscars

There is no exact recipe. Everybody's seems to be a little different. Its all up to you what you put in, but this is what i do:

Beefheart (fresh)
Chicken livers (fresh)
uncooked prawns (fresh)
shelled peas
chopped frozen spinach
good quality pellets (Omega One)
vitamins
and i add a couple drops garlic guard

I use a food processor to make everything into a paste. Then mix it all together and add a little knox gelatin to bind.
Then i put small amounts in plastic baggies, flatten them and put them in the freezer.
You can just measure everything according to how many fish you have and how often you feed.

When it comes time to feed i just break off chunks. If i need smaller pieces, i just wet with water to soften a little and cut smaller pieces.

My Ornate doesnt eat it, he just likes worms so far.
But my Oscar,JD and Loisellei go totally bonkers for the stuff.
It does get messy and the Oscar blows some through his gills, so you may have to step up the water changes. It also makes them grow like weeds when they're small. I know many people that use this recipe for their Discus. Its good stuff.

I use my fish as proof that its good stuff. They are vibrant and healthy

I would like to know to but that is not the one I saw.

Well, like i said. Everyone's recipe seems to vary. You just go with the method, but you can add your own ingredients.
Thats just my own recipe. Most Beefheart Recipes have Beefheart, and a vegetable of some sort and vitamins.
Its up to you.

Is this the one you are looking for?

Its perfect for oscars.

Everyones recipe differs. Mine is just a very basic one. As you can see in the end it practically is just beefheart LOL

I don't even know what the zucchini does for the fish. But I mainly feed this to GG because they need the vege in their diet.
