Basshead's tuna/salmon mix

[Eddie]

You guys, not sure if the bullet will work but it should. One of you try and see what happens .

All the fish and shrimp is raw. Raw fish can be purchased at the super market so you don't always have to ask for the fish at the counter.

You will find that this food does not foul the water at all. It's a super food and you'll see it if you try it.

Ricardo, read the posts about how to ripen or caramelize a banana in the oven or micro. We talked about it earlier in this thread. Works well

how do we measure a 1 cup of raw tuna? im just confused..

is this mix good for the pair also?

It's not exact in the measurement of 1 cup, but you can use a 1 cup measure cup and fill it with as much tuna chunks as possible, even overflowing if you want. It's entirely up to you, just don't skimp on the fish.

The mix is good for every thing that will eat it. I know Jules feeds it to all her fish and even turtles.

Mr. Quad, I tried to stick to the measurements as close as possible. When I was at the grocery store purchasing, I was asking my self the same question.
So this is what I came up with and made a note for myself for the next batch.

For the Tuna and Salmon

1 cup = 1/2lb
1/2 cup = 1/4lb

Wow Ibanez, those are some good weights. I'll have to add them to original recipe numbers. Just put in a little courtesy to you. Thanks

B&D food processor, $30 from Sears and its an 8 cup model, 450 watts. The tuna is denser then salmon so 1/2 pound is like a cup full, I use 1 lb of salmon to 1/2 lb tuna. fresh is best, the canned has preservatives and is not raw. My fish are eating it better after 4 days, they now know its food. easy on the garlic, one clove is plenty, more then one and you'll smell like an Italian restaurant.

Also, have the fishman remove the skin for you, it'll save money on something they can't eat and just adds to the tank mess.

LOL, I like smelling like an italian restaurant! HAHAHA

I'm very happy to here they are on it, they will get addicted. I don't know what it is but they get addicted.

Best of luck with them!

Eddie, you stopped adding oatmeal? The pellets compensate for it? Also, I had to grind it for more then 15 to 20 seconds in the food processor, it was to chunky at that point.

Yes, the pellets compensate for the oatmeal. I found the mix to be better without the oatmeal.

I guess it really depends on the food processor. A 50 watt and a 500 watt will definitely make a difference. At least process it until it becomes a paste. There will still be smell chunks but no worries.

I got a 450 watt'r so its good at making paste, about 30 seconds to a minute does it.

No worries Marvin ask away, it's best to get it right for your fish right.

Shrimp and mussels can be bought frozen but thaw them before you process everything.

liquid multi-vitamins can be any brand but I use Centrum. You can also grind a single vitamin pill but ensure it is ground to a powder. I like the liquid better since it does mix well.

You can steam everything. I am using alot of frozen spinach now and just boiling it. It's much easier.
