Only stuff I’ve made is stuff that’s stored in the freezer. I can post a link to a thread I posted about making food and the. Flattening it out in gallon freezer bags to store in my freezer.

A 7-8 lb batch typically lasts me around 6 months, but I only feed every three days and I also use frozen krill and live night crawlers in addition to the mix.

You don’t have to use the exact ingredients that I do, you can get other stuff, but I do recommend making tilapia the main ingredient. I will say, anytime I feed, it gets a bit messy, but typically, the food stays together pretty well.

I recommend a slapchop to get them smaller pieces.
