Hi everyone ,
Tried another food experiment. It was a good year for me as far as hunting goes, ... not That I hunt, but I have many friends that do. The Freezer is full of deer, and I decided to make some Jerky from the leanest pieces.
Thinking about the beef heart mixes and all, I figured I would try to feed the deer to my discus. All of this I thought of as I ground a fresh pile of coffee beans up for a mug of Java.
Then it hit me.. grind the jerky, and use it as fry food. The results of a coffee grinder on the dried venison gives you a powder mixed with small muscle fibers that are about the size of planeria, copepods and BBS. I just mixed a little with water and let it sit a few minutes. Then feed. It's working really well.
Those of you that make beef heart, and have a dehydrator, Try making a batch and dehydrate, then grind. It may wind up being a great inexpensive fry food. Let me know how you make out. I'm still testing it. But it seems like a great way to get vitamens into the fry.
