SRC Member cutebarra77 Posted January 12, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi fish keepers, Anyone tried feeding the above to your fishes? What are your views? I'm thinking of using this as one of the ingredients to my homemade frozen fish food. Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have tried but it makes the water more smelly than other types of food if you over feed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbir Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 U'd be better off using the green mussels, scallops and clams sold at the local wet markets. The last time I hrd of cockles being used was by the Primary Production Department to breed long-clawed freshwater crayfish. It goes something like this: First chop up the meat. Next wash off the blood. After that, use a sieve to separate the finely cut up stuff before feeding according to size of the crayfish. N one needs to remove the leftovers not to mention the waste matter of the crayfish. If 4 fishes, such a situation is a big advantage for an ich outbreak (my opinion n past exp.) Good day.

SRC Member kenyee Posted January 12, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 12, 2014 Its better dun try..there's no any good to feed ur fish all this food..most or all nutrition fish needed can b found in dry fish food aka pellet/flakes..feeding them this raw food might pollute the water n cause sickness to ur fish..better be safe then sorry..happy reefing Quote @ 291213 Updated video: Kenyee FOWLR http://m.youtube.com/my_videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member cutebarra77 Posted January 12, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 12, 2014 There is risk with the use of frozen food. So far so good with me and I think the fishes do enjoy them over processed food. I prefer to give them a balance which I'm already doing, giving them frozen and dry food daily. I guess it's a matter of variety for trying to introduce see hum which may or may not provide additional nutrition to the fishes. Just like for dwarf angels, their natural diet comprise mainly of sponges but we replace that with dry food. Are they still getting the right balance of nutrition? Maybe. I'm just trying to see if anyone tried and like to know the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member ASHWIN Posted March 24, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 24, 2014 = so i go down to the market and get scallops, large raw whole shrimp, squid, mussels,clams and crab. add in a couple of the small cloves of garlic,carrots and broccoli wet some nori sheets down in RO water(Nori without flavour) throw it all in the blender/food processor and blend it into a paste. lay down a cookie sheet with aluminum foil over the top, pour the paste onto the sheet then push a section of egg crate the same size as the cookie sheet into the paste to divide them all up and stick em in the freezer. let freeze, remove from freezer and poke out all the squares so will look like mysis cubes. or put them in a freezer ziplock or ice tray's 6 months worth of food for 10- 15 bucks and quite possibly the best for the fish too..but i only feed this food 2xweekly otherwise its just NLS. just don't add any oily fish like salmon to the recipe, cod are ok if they are gotten cheap new anthias has gone crazy for this stuff. adding Selcon Will also boost health of your fishes . Its called the Hassle Recipe LOL! 6months worth..keeps anthias super fat cheers!
