My first batch was yesterday so he's only had one feeding so far. I'm expecting excellent results though. How can any pellet compare to fresh and natural ingredients?

If you (and your flowerhorn) are frustrated with pellets, I can't recommend homemade enough.

Give it a shot. It's easy and relatively cheap. Nutrition-wise, it blows pellets away. Best part, YOU decide the ingredients.
 
Thanks for the offer, bro.. but I live on the other side of the world..
Perhaps you could ship them over.. :grinno::grinno::grinno: j/k
They look tasty too.. Your RD is one lucky fish.. :drool:

Added some pics of the finished product in the original thread.

@ H]-[H

If you could get to Northern Virginia I'd give you some as a fellow hobbyist fed up with pellets. This made alot more then I expected.

I live in PWC but work in Alexandria.

I'd say very messy. I'm guessing 25% to 40% was getting expelled through his gills. But I took care of that by dehydrating it to about 1/3 the size. Crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside. Since I'm dehydrating it, next time I'm going to try making it without the gelatin mix.

Easy stuff to make btw (but time consuming) and he's still chowing down on it in its new form. Seems to require less now though. Expelling <5% I'd say.

Where in NoVA are you?

oh ic, i might try and make my own fish food too. i just looked at the other thread you made and it doesn't seem too hard. So you're saying without the gelatin mix, it would be alot better? wouldn't it just become solid and hard to eat? I live in Fairfax, along 236.
