I use the recipe from Joey (DIY King), fish love it, brings out their colour, some gelatin helps with the mess.
Hi!
Looking for feedback on my recipe I kinda put together reading through many others. I do not think I have a store with beef heart around here (at least I have never seen it) so I was looking at ground turkey since you can get it 99% lean.
I wussed out and cooked it (spread it out in a pan and added water to not let it brown and just heat it through, then drained it) way to weird about poultry to have raw turkey around and in my water :P
Ingredients:
8oz 'braised' (lol) 99% lean ground turkey
8oz raw shrimp
8oz raw cod filet (skinned, wild, only the best lol)
3oz frozen peas
2oz frozen spinish
small handful of Cobalt Spirilina flake
big handful of Cobalt discus flake
1oz Al's blackworm/beef heart pellets (crushed)
Maybe..a tablesppon of whole grain oat flour
~1.5 caps of Seachem GarlicGaurd
Processed this all in a food processor (meat separate from veg, then combined) into not quite a paste, a chunky paste, very small chunks tho, I only have 3" discus
They have snubbed basically everything (got them last Friday from Hans) except frozen bloodworms and they were a little wary of the chunk I tossed in at first (just threw in right after making it not frozen) but once one pecked at it they attacked it. I put way to much in so I pulled out the chunk that was still left after a few minutes (some were still eating ).
It made a bit of a mess but much better than I expected actually! It is STICKY, flattened it out in parchment paper to freeze...
Anyways, would love to hear thoughts on the recipe and methods of combining!!!
Thanks!
---I am officially hooked on discus

Another thing I saw a member here do is freeze the beef heart and then grate it in a food processor. I've done that too with great success. The pieces turn out to be a good size for the fish and not as messy.
