Homemade FH Food...?

[SteveTank]

A guy stopped in the store the other day, and told me that his buddy's FH is doing great on this homemade food, and said he'd get me the recipe. I know the guy, and he really doesn't know what he's talking about, but the idea seemed reasonable enough. Any ideas on where to get ingredients, what kind of ingredients for color and hump development?

Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

bad idea hands down.

fat for the hump, beta carotene for the color

It's not a horrible idea. But your formula will probably be similar to making food for any other ca/sa cichlid or other tropical fish. Probably will be a frozen food, and will require a trip to the market/butcher and a blender/chopper. Recipe probably will involve shrimp(and other seafood), possibly some beefheart. Might need some of this stuff too. http://www.jehmco.com/html/powders__spirulina___plankton.html

All in all it's probably more involved than I personally would ever care to get into for a couple FH's.
