what food to use?

[Ruth]

I feed formula 1 and 2 in both flake and pellet form. I also mix up my own mash of various shell fish like shrimp, scallop, crab, oysters, some white fish and squid and then throw in some cyclopeeze, mysis, nori, formula 1 and 2, garlic, selcon, oyster eggs and blend it all up fairly chunky, put it in zip lock bags and freeze it (laying the bag flat). I basically use whatever I can find at the grocery store, soak it in some RODI water in case it has anything added to it or sprayed on it. I blend it with a couple of ice cubes made from RODI water then add frozen stuff like cylopeeze, mysis etc. and freeze again right away. The reason I use the ice cubes is so that I get a kind of slushy so my already frozen food does not thaw out too much before I re-freeze it.
