Hey all,
I've been lurking here for about a week to make sure this wasn't just another group where everyone flames everyone else. I'm happy to say that I haven't noticed a single derogatory post. Not to say there haven't been any, I just haven't noticed them. Now for the question. Is there a good site to research making my own fish food? We have a 75g. freshwater tank with Tinfoil Barbs, Australian Rainbows, Danios, Pink Gouramis, Blue Gouramis and Bala Sharks; a 29g. that is all Mollies; and last is another 75g. with Percula and Ocellaris Clowns, Yellow Tangs, Green Emperor Goby and Green Chromis. There are also a few anemones and the cleaning crew of snails and crabs. We saw an article in one of the aquaria magazines about 6 months ago that mentioned 2 recipes for making your own fish food. One used baby food with additional self prepared ingredients and the other used ingredients you had to chop, cut and puree yourself. My wife used these recipes as a guideline and mixed up a wonderful batch of homebrew fish food. I have to say that all of the fish get the same thing once a day in the morning and love it better than the flake they get at night. The colors really started to pop on the Rainbows and Danios. We can't get the Mollies to stop breeding. We are starting to look for homes for the Tinfoil Barbs and Mollies due to growth and overpopulation. The 2 Ocellaris Clowns started off with a much more muted color and are really starting to turn bright orange after only a few weeks. I'm basically looking for confirmation that the same food is right for both the fresh and sal****er tanks. Another link for more recipes to compare ingredients is always a plus. Please let me know if you need more info to help make a decision. BTW - I am in the Detroit, MI area. If anyone knows of a good home for 4 8-10" Tinfoil Barbs I would be happy to donate them to a worthy tank before I give them to the LFS. Enjoy, Greg |
