    Default Super Tuna/Salmon mix pictures

    Hey all,

    Just wanted to update everyone on the changes to the new mix and post pictures of each step.

    3/4 lb raw tuna
    1/4 lb sea salmon or cod
    20 cooked or raw clams (or shrimps)
    1/3 cup ground pellets (NLS)
    1/3 cup ground Prime Reef flake
    1/3 cup ground freeze dried mysis shrimp
    2 tbsp liquid vitamins
    3 tbsp cooked peas, outer shells removed (or 1/3 cup of spinach, frozen type boiled)
    1 small extremely ripe banana
    3 crushed garlic cloves

    Skipped the paprika this time
    Squishing the peas through a strainer was fun!
    The kitchen and my hands will smell like fish/clams for a few weeks and all the cats in the neighborhood will be waiting at the doorsteps.


















    Best of luck everyone and if your fish don't eat this food, I'll pay for your expenses for the ingredients. You gotta make a video of them, not touching it.

    Eddie

    Eddie,

    You should have your own show on the fish food network! Very well done! I'd take pictures of my process, but I make a huge mess plus my dogs like to help. It would just create more confusion. LOL! Great job with the play by play though. I'm sure it clears up a lot for those that are unfamiliar with making homemade foods!

    Eddie,

    I meant to ask, can you substitue FROZEN Mysis shrimp for freeze dried or is freeze dried the best choice? Thanks! I'm getting my list together as I now feel that my Discus are being neglected not getting this Seafood mix!

    Hey all, Thank for the comments.

    Told you I made some OUTSTANDING chocolate chip cookies. LOL

    Anna, I'm sure you could used the frozen mysis shrimp. I don't see why not. They both stink bad so I'm sure it will have the same affect. LOL

    Take care all and good luck,
    Eddie

    Looks good Eddie, I may have to try it. Does it make a mess in the water the way beefheart does?

    BTW, look how cute all of your organizational containers are!!!

    Let me answer this one... From my point of view, the mix is sound, but is messy as all heck. Yep, the fish eat it, but it breaks up into microsized particles as they eat that a lot of the mix is wasted, and ends up on the bottom. I'm glad my grow tank and mated tank are BB. I have to vacuum with every feeding. I think if you have a BB tank, rock on. Planted or landscaped, over time, I think you will see an increase in pollution levels as it decays in places you cant get to it. I'm going to try it in a feeding cone and see what it does. Not knocking the mix... a good idea, the ingredients are pretty cheap (a 1 quart bag 1/2 inch thick is about 6.00) but I think it's messy food. Just my .02

    Eddie, you feel this one is definitely better then the original recipe? Just wondering the reason for changes and thought behind it. Also, why no paprika this time?

    ...might have to follow suit after this last batch is gone.

    Hey Renee, the mix can make a mess depending on the banana and how accurately you follow the ingredients. Some say its messy some say its not. I do think it's best in a BB tank while growing out young ones. I was using it in my sand bottom tank for a few months and it was a pain to clean up. I do 100% WCs daily so that helps but it still got the tank messy. In a BB tank, there is nothing left, the fish eat everything.

    Haha, the containers are nice aren't they. LOL

    Take care,
    Eddie

    Hey Ibanez, just ran out of spinach and tried peas. The freeze dried Mysis I had ordered months ago and my fish won't touch it. The NLS, they don't touch either. Using these in the mix, they KILL it. They go bananas over the mix, just as much as the other if not more. It was just what I had and I think I will be sticking with it.

    Best of luck,
    Eddie

    That's one cool thing about using food mix! If you want to try a new dry food, just go ahead and buy it. If they don't take it, just put in a mix, instead of throwing it away! It's the same thing we do when we cook a vegetable soup to our toddler!
