Im always looking for DIY projects
If you have a home made fish food recipie place it here and wait for feed back.
Here is one i found to start off, i got it off another site, and havn't used it yet.

Start with ANY greens, fruits and vegetables you can find. An example would
include, but not be limited to; carrots, broccoli, yams, oranges, apples,
Romaine lettuce, etc.
Put all the above in a blender or food processor.
Slowly add shrimp, crab legs (both with shells), and/or smelt. Do not use any
fish that would contain high levels of oils, like herring or mackeral.
Blend mixture as fine as possible.
Add liquid vitamins or crushed tablets, you can also add Selco or Selcon. The mixture should have the consistancy of mud. Add some liquid to thin it up if it
appears to thick, carrot or sweet potato juice works well for this purpose as it is high in vitamin content. You can also use clam juice or water.
Next: Boil 100-150ml of water and add the same amount of unflavored gelatin. Mix the gelatin and vegetable mixture together pour the resulting mixture into a rectangle pan and allow to cool. You can place the mixture in the freezer but be sure to score the mixture before it is completely hardened, to make it easier to separate later.After the mixture is frozen you can separate the pieces and place them in freezer bags for use as needed.


Im not sure if this is the right section for the post (DIY maybe?), can a mod help me out.
 
my discus love the one i make for them

i just blend beef heart with spinnach ,peas womans vitamins and unflaverd geatine and my fish love it and it holds together in water well :)

also my other fish lik my guppys swordtails , rainbow fish, neons also my fiddler crabs all love it plus when i have fry i just let it melt on my paludarium waterfall and squeez it in the water
 
i know nobody reads this, but i found a great recipie...

ok its not really a recipie, i just put smaller pieces of fish from fish i eat or keep for bait in the freezer for a week ( kill off any pathogens/parasites) then mince the meat up, my cichlids go into a frenzy over it.
 
This could be an amazing thread, and that recipe sounds awsome. Wish I could add one to it, but sadly i just buy the food :(.

Bump for a great thread.

Think it'd be alright to net silversides and mummigchogs and freeze to kill pathogens and eventuakly feed to freshwater fish?

I'v been giving mine some pieces of striper and bluefish that came from the ocean and some perch from a lake (cannibals) I have read somewhere that fish from the ocean hold more nutrients than freshwater fish, but ill never know the difference?
