We don't have a sub forum for this yet. At any rate I'm looking to make a couple batches of DIY food for my different fish after the success of my DIY med food:

At any rate I was wondering a couple things and as more comes to mind I'll post it here.

I know that certain fish shouldn't eat worms and beef heart etc. The question I have is I'm gonna make a meat eaters blend and it was gonna be a mix of shrimp, night crawlers and beef heart and the fish that would eat that is cichla, bichirs, and arowana. Is that ok? I was also going to include garlic to ward of internal parasites, any reason they couldn't eat that? Should I consider adding meal or super worms?

As for a veggie mix I was gonna do romaine lettuce, peas, garlic, zuchini, should I add any broccoli or anything?

As for added vitamins I'm kinda at a loss for witch ones to choose. If you have any recommendations for vitamins could you please link a vender/retailer please.

Thats all I can think of for now.
 
I didn't know garlic was good for parasites?
 
I would swing over to simply discus.com I use to care for Discus and made my own food mixes. Over there you will find a variety of excellent mixes

I'm sorry if I didn't articulate properly... I don't have discus, lol. Just I'm familar with their diets since they are one of the #1 DIY food fishes on the internet, second is maybe tropheous.
