As many of you know I have some pretty large fish and a lot of them. As my fish grow and grow I was finding myself going through bags and bags of Massivor and alike pellets costing loads in $$ a month, Too much! So I started playing around with the idea of making my own pellets. Well, in my case the massivor pellets and alike are still too small IMO for my fish, meaning I'm tossing in several hand fulls at a time to feed them... So I wanted a BIGGER pellet, a MAN size pellet if you will to cut back on having to feed several pellets in one setting and at a reasonable price. Well here's what I came up with - Enjoy! :naughty:

great video man, something I'll definitely have to try. Was it easy getting your fish to eat the pellets you made?

Yeah most of them took to it the very first time I tossed it in, a few others seem to need to get use to the new MONSTER size...lol But way I see it, they'll all eat it eventually. I'll make a feeding video of it and post, that way you can see for yourself and how the surface explodes when I toss it in.

Well, wasn't to much of a science for me... a dash of this a squirt of that...lol I added a good couple shakes of garlic power and probably around a 1/2 cup of Via Chem.
