DIY Cichla Pellets - Monster Fish Keepers Style!

looks good. Are you storing it in the fridge or at room temp ?

It's cooked, So perfectly fine to store at room temp. I store in rubbermade bins with the tops on to keep the mice out.

im guessing this would be good for most all fish including my cichlid . i live by the beach so getting fish heatds and organs is super easy would that work? also blue gills are easy to catch i could just blend a whole blue gill up?

We can add spirulina as an ingredient too.

How do you make the pellets sink?

Well, not sure how many pounds total but I spent a few hours making many bunches up, I didn't want to have to do it every weekend. If I had to guess I'd say 50lbs though. I was doing 4 trays at a time in the oven.

Yeah, good for any fish really depending on what you put in it, obviously some fish require more plants and veggies than others but if that's the case add what your fish needs to the mix. But any fresh fish or fish parts will work fine, blue gill etc.. Think of it this way, if its a fish that is eaten in the wild by another fish it will work. I prefer salt water fish like Mackerel becuz its an oily fish, fish oil is good.

No, Via chem will not make or break the deal, I added it to my mix because I always have a bottle on hand and it has many good things to offer.
