homemade fishfood

[gomezladdams]

I always see peoples recipes for making thier own fishfood except tonite when I got a bunch of stuff and was planning on making some,been searching all night several sites and nothing.Im feeding mbuna and plecos seem to recall a mix with zuchinni squash and spinach with unflavored gelatin as a binder.
I got some shrimp squid and haddock.Cooked or uncooked?
add any vitamin or calcium supplements?
anyone around make thier own food?

I do.
I take a pound of uncooked shrimp or fish
a pound of peas
a quarter teaspoon of liquid bird vitamins
a couple tablespoons of spirulina powder
(I don't add the geletin anymore - its a pain and has no value IMO)

put in a blender/food processor
make into paste
spoon into sandwich bags (makes 4-6 bags)
flatten it in the bag until it is 1/4 inch thick
freeze

to feed, thaw a bag until you can break off chunks.

I feed it every other day
the rest of the time I feed a quality pellet food.

I mixed
1 package of frozen spinach
1 frozen salmon fillet
1 package of frozen salad shrimp

I poured it into a mini ice cube tray.

I ended up with a mix of the following about 2/3 veggie
squash
zuchinni
carrots with tops
peas
spinach
2 garlic cloves pressed
all veggies blanched
haddock
shrimp
squid
all that into the blender

Smelled so good I thought with some tortellini and black pepper it would make a nice soup

Blended then added krill and some cyclopeze
mixed in the gelatin powder while it was in the blender.poured into bags and flattened in the freezer.fed a bunch to the fish before freezing and they went nuts for it mbuna and silver dollars chowed it down plecos were fighting over it and the snails were all over it .If they eat it this enthusiastically after freezing ill be really pleased.
I figure if I make it again Ill add spirulena powder and wheat germ or oats
I figure Ill feed this mix 2-3 times a week
