New Clown Knife and Feeding

[WyldFya]

I know my variety is big, but if I keep them diverse, I can feed them many different nutrients and they are open to new things I might try out. And it's nice when I'm late for work!!!!! I can just throw in a chunk of ground heart or a cube of Emerald Entre and run.

HAHA my new Knife could EAT yours! I love him to death. my old clown use to eat just about anything I would put in the tank. But loved bloodworms.

My first knife was spoiled by frozen bloodworms and rosy reds. My last two however, I trained to eat dry food off the top, a much healthier alternative. Unfortunately my royal knife is a very picky eater and will only eat live fish. Occasionally she will "try" something frozen, but will spit it out and go sulk in the corner of the tank. And my first clown knife is rather dim whitted and often has difficulty finding the live fish before someone else does. But since he is the favorite, I make sure he doesn't go hungry
My two gold clowns will eat ANYTHING at all. They would probably be happy with dog food. One of them has even munched on my hand while I was replanting an uprooted valisneria.

Just made some for the first time yesterday. I got the recipe from a guy named Tony on another site. His didn't have the baby cereal or wheat germ. His called for peas which I skipped. I also think I made the mix too fine. (puree) It froze great, and the fish love it!! I only made 1/4 recipe and have too large bags and 1 tupperware container full. Full recipe = Lots of food! The other recipe had you spread it out over wax paper and fridge till set up. Then score it with a knife, then freeze. After frozen, break apart pieces and bag em up. Next time I'll try the wheat germ and baby food for vitamins.

I know which Tony you're referring to. He's very knowlegable. He's an Admin on another site I moderate.
I use the same recipe you found. I just modified it a little to suit me.
Peas are good for their digestive system. Helps move everything along to prevent blockages.

I couldn't find shelled peas and wasn't about to do it myself.
