Beef Heart Mix - Need Opinion/Input

[Kal-El]

I'm about to make my first beef heart/seafood mix using the following and needed to confirm a few things.

Ingredient

• 2 lb Beef Heart
• fillet of Cod
• fillet of Salmon
• Spinach
• 6 piece of Garlic Clove (If more let me know)
• 6 jumble Shrimp
• 1 Tablespoon of Sera Discus granules
• 1 Tablespoon of Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef Flake Food
• 1 Tablespoon of Ocean Nutrition discus flakes
• 2 egg yolks (boil first or raw?)
• 1 Teaspoon of Pro-growth (Is this enough or do I need to put more?)
• 1 tablespoon of Pro-More (Is this enough or do I need to put more?)
• Fish Oil (Which Brand is recommend and how many to put in?)
• 6 One-A-Day multi-vitamins (Not sure if I need this)

Let me know if I need to take anything out or I'm overdoing it. Like to get everyone's input/feedback before I start making it.

Thanks,

Thank you... Good info in your link... I never though of using banana to help hold the mix together. Also they recommend not to use spinach and to use Red lettuce. This is the first I've heard of this. So any input on this part?

[Poco]

No problem.

[Kal-El]

No problem.

Did you use spinach or went with Red lettuce? If lettuce did you boil it like for spinach or just put it in the food processor to grind it up?

Ok I would take the vitamins out or the pro more+growth its way to much vitamin just use one of your choices
Also i use bananas in my mix to hold things together, the clove of garlic i would just buy the ground or chopped ones.
I use spinach but you can also use calored greens. the egg yolk messes up the tank so x that. the flakes you are using are great but I would X the Sera and just feed that by itself at another feeding.

Organic Red Lettuce, no need to boil it just run it through a chopper.

Just saw you are adding pro growth (2.5 grams per kilo of mix) then don't add multivitamins as in the recipe.

[Chicago Discus]

Lettuce organic or not you still need to blanch it before adding in your mix

Just wondering what is the reason for blanching it?

[Chicago Discus]

one it makes it a little more palletable for the fish to eat otherwise you will find the lettuce bits floating in the tank. two I always blanch fresh veggies before putting it in my mixes to clean them up.......josie

Thanks Josie, this is the kind of feedback I'm looking for. I will x out the egg, vitamins, and Sera, and just keep both pro more and pro-growth and everything else.

Thanks I will try Spinach for my first mix since this is what Josie uses with her mix and her mix is what I've been feeding my discus with before I ran out.

Enjoy! making it is an experience and cleaning up after is another

Josie, not sure if you use fish oil in your mix but should I take it out or keep them in the mix?
