Anybody else do this? Sure makes feeding my monsters easy! Well theyre still small monsters, for now
What I do is, throw a bunch of stuff in the chopper. Then i put the mix in an ice cube tray and freeze it. i keep 3~4 cubes thawed in the fridge for the next few days. Here's what i throw in the mix:
- market shrimp
- beef heart
- gizzards
- squid
- mussles
- turkey franks
- catfish nuggets
fish love it and they go crazy during feeding. i usually feed them pellets in the morning and this stuff in the evening. enjoy

When we had discus this was the recipe, could work out for some monsters:
One beef heart trimmed of all skin veins etc.
One banana
4 cloves of garlic
Paprika
12oz spinach
6 crushed multi vitamin tabs
3 spirulina tabs
3 hand fulls of flake(the binder)
3 hand fulls of high protein pellets
Used to make it in bulk, still got some left 9 months or so later, the oscars love it(but only in small doses)
The ice cube tray trick I got off here

Me too. But a little different
I would use
- market shrimp - raw
- beef heart - remove all excess fatty tissue
- white fish like cod
- Frozen Peas
- High quality pellets - soaked in water first to soften
- spirulina - just a tad
- Vita-Chem - a few good squeezes of the bottle
- Garlic Guard liquid - helps with appetite and boosts imune system - also a few good squeezes of the bottle
Then i would put in a mini food processor until creamy.
I would put in plastic sandwich bags and flatten them, then stack in freezer.
Once frozen, i would remove to a large freezer bag and break of chunks at feeding time.
(the ice cube trays is a good idea, but my fish arent big enough for that)
