Default Homemade fish food??

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
