Default Whats your Omnivore secret recipe?

Do you feed your fish cubes/frozen sheets or make your own recipe from the supermarket? Whats your recipe?

I just buy cubes of krill, squid, brine shimp, & dried green algae sheets but I swear lately my fish look at me like, "O.h no guys, she's feeding us the same thing AGAIN!"

Is there any algaes I can grow for the herbivore's (Regal Tang)?

Do you have your own secret Ominvore supermarket recipe?


Love to here your ideas & home recipes! Thanks a bunch in advance.

Hi Leanne,

I feed the following:

Puree Cyclops-eeze, mysid, mussels, flake food, pellet food, selcon, nori, Vitamine C tablet, garlic.

I then freeze it and break a bit off (enough for a week). I then cut up a mussels and soak them in the above mix. I feed my anenomes the larger chuncks and pour some of the mixture in for everything else. Since I've started doing this a few months ago, I've had a huge feather duster explosion!

Hey where you buy Puree Cyclops-eeze from? Supermarket? As well as your mysid, & mussels? Hmm...bet my cowfish would love mussels!

And flake food? I have never tried flake. Which brand of flake? Buy from?

Feel dumb now but... Is Nori just any dried algae sheets?

Vitamine C tablet? People kind?

I feed pretty much the same except I use the frozen bag of mixed sea food from Sobey's(2lb for about $7)it has squid,clams,mussels,shrimp,etc.
after making a mush in the blender,puor into large freezer bag laying flat untill frozen,lasts a long time.

Oops, I should have been more clear. I blend all of those ingredients together (i.e. I mush them up good like baby food).

Nori = seaweed = the stuff they use for sushi. Use the unseasoned kind. For flake food, basically anything I can find. I last used some made by HBH. As for the vitamine C, I just used those orange flavored kind that people eat. i don't know if it really works, but I read somewhere that others did this to give vitamine C to their fish.

I don't really have a ratio or anything, just use however much I feel like. I do use very little of the cyclop-eeze as a little goes a long way.

Hey thanks Harvey, sounds like an awesome recipe!

Where do you buy Puree Cyclops-eeze, what is it exactly? And where you buy your mysid & mussels from? Petstore? Safeway? T&T market or Save-on foods?

What kinda fish do you feed this to?

And a Vit C like the flinstone tablets! LOL That's cute! Hope your right!

Mine is based on Bob Fenners recipe. What can I say, my fish are spoiled....

FISH FOOD

1/3 CUP DRIED KRILL (SOAKED)
1 SHEET NORI (SOAKED)
1 TSP. FISH VITAMINS (I use Kent Zoe)
1/2 CUP SEA BASS
1 DOZEN SMALL CLAMS (MEAT)
3 LARGE OYSTERS (MEAT)
12 LARGE RAW SHRIMP (PEELED)

Optional:
1 PKGS GELATIN DISSOLVED IN 1/4-1/2C WARM WATER
Garlic


If I have leftover flake food (you know the crushed beyond recognition at the end of a can) or something good for them they don't take normally (all my fish hate plankton and cyclopeeze), throw some of that in.


I freeze in ziploc freezer bags.
