Homemade Food - 3rd batch

[Snappy]

Sounds disgusting so I'll take a bag as well if you can bring me one next Saturday when you come over. Thanks.

Count me in for a bag if you are planning on making it in time for the meet.

Yes it does sound disgusting!

I use dry cyclopeeze in the mix, and I let it soak in the selcon, zoe, garlic, and oyster eggs for about half an hour before mixing it in further.

Yes I am going to the meet, I'll bring what you've all asked for. I'll also make a post in the thread for the meet to see if anyone else wants any.

Myka, if you want I can make you a smaller bag, half the contents at half the price. It'd be the same size bag, but the contents would be frozen thinner.

Hi Catherine
How long does it last in the freezer? I'd love to try a bag but have not stocked my tank with any fish. Will it last a few months??

It depends. Provided you keep the air out of it, it should last a month or two.

I do make food pretty regularly, it seems I make it every 6 weeks or so. I go through a lot of food myself, and tend to forget to keep enough.

So far the running total for all bags is 17. 5 of which are to be brought to the meet. 1 bag so far to be shipped out to Kelowna. I am looking to make probably 50 bags of product, and I will sell off all the unspoken for food in a couple of weeks.

Frozen Cyclopeeze kicks major butt on the dry stuff!! Quite a bit more expensive though as is any frozen.

I would be much appreciative on a smaller bag! I only have 3 fish that eat prepared foods.

What makes frozen so much better? Is it really going to have any impact because it has to be thawed and then re-frozen to be properly mixed in.

Apparently frozen has more nutrients than FD...although technology is advanced in FD, so who knows. I can't find any hard evidence either way via internet.

I do notice a HUGE difference in PE using the frozen over FD, and the fish go nuts for the frozen too.
