I tried a combo of tetra cichlid flake, Hikari Cichlid Gold, shrimp pellets when my TSN stopped eating for acouple weeks, an it got him eating again.
Why would you put pellets and flakes in your homemade fishfood?Its already ready to feed,in a convenient form.
Ive been making homemade fisfood,mines primarily for mbuna and plecos so its heavy on veggies about 20% fish.
zuchinni, squash,spinach,peas,carrots.
shrimp,squid,whatever fish is on sale pollock haddock or salmon.
a smaller amount of an oily fish like anchovy or makerel
some oatmeal and wheat germ for a sinking food.
supplement with cyclopeze and spirulena.
A few cloves crushed garlic.
I blanch the veggies lightly
liquefy everthing in the blender.
add some unflavored gelatin to bind it.I pour into snack size baggies and freeze flat on a cookie sheet.

thanks gomez but i need something more meaty for my pbass and other cichlids. maybe i will just add some other things to yours like bloodworms and krill
My grocery list: shell on market shrimp, smelt, catfish, whatever other fish is on sale at the time, and frozen peas. You can chop mix and freeze or feed whole if they are large enough.

MAKE SURE TO GET THE GELATIN...or else you will get really cloudy water
