Hi,
I am looking to buy an electric meat grinder to make my fish food. Can anyone reccommend any place that sells them or any good brand? Thanks.

Donna,
Thanks for the site. I'll check them out for sure.

Snow Cichlid,
I have a food processor, but sometimes the meat gets blended too fine. Thanks anyway.

A salad shooter works really good. It makes discus "bite sized" heart pieces. Cut your cleaned beefheart into small cubes, say 1/2 inch, put in a baggie and freeze. Take several frozen cubes and run through the salad shooter. Do it really quick and refreeze the beeheart pellets. Feed the pure beefheart pellets to your discus. This is the cleanest way to feed beefheart.

Interesting Carol
But I have to add all my secret ingredients, which is for ever changeing.
I use the meat grinder attachment to the wifes Kichen Aid mixer.
Grind all ingredients once put in five gallon buket mix well with hand mixer then grind a secound time.
Of course all this is done when the wife is not at home.

Cary,

I prefer not to use binder(no jello or agar,agar for me).lol.
Also one way street is better than deadend..lol.

Jason,
The garlic press is a good idea too.

Shrimp is a good binder. It becomes a thick, sticky goo when the processor is placed in the Kill position. Leave the shell on ! Joe ;)

Joe,
Thanks for the suggestion. I used to add cooked shrimp to my mix, but recently I've switched to raw shrimps and yes, it works much better.
