Homemade Fish Food - Calgary - Page 6

You know what guys, I am about ready to flat out give up on all of this.

I was the recipient of a threatening PM today over this food. I just want to clairify a few things:

1) I make no money on this what so ever, most times I loose out significantly after I factor in my time. The money given covers the food and bags thats it.

2) This is not for human consumption

3) I started doing this to make good food for my own tank, and help other people out by offering them the leftovers. You can't just make a single bag of food, you'd have an a lot of left over wasted product. I just wanted to help out, thats all.

4) At this point I'll probably just refund everyone their money and never make food again. I am tired of trying to help people out by splitting the costs and volunteering my time. However this is probably the end of that.

Wow. Why would anyone threaten you for helping people out? That's garbage. From reading past posts and seeing what a great response you've recieved from doing this before I made the decision to buy some bags off of you...what on earth would give someone the idea to send you a threat. That's garbage. Sorry to hear this. If you decide to not go with it, I completely understand. Maybe you could send me a PM with the steps you used to make your own and I can make me some. I've got enough tanks that I doubt I would have too much left over.

To whomever sent Catherine the PM : Atta ruin it for other people. Thumbs up to being a jerk.

Sorry to hear that. I would like to know who the idiot is that's causing you the grief. I know you will not name people. But this is just unbelievable.

Some people should just keep there thoughts to themselves.

I always try to help out when i can as well.

If you do decide to make the food i would be willing to buy a very large batch to help cover costs even if you do not offer it to others. My fish really like this food and i think it is much better then anything you can buy in the stores.

I am really sorry to hear that Catherine!

This is my third order from you and I am very happy with the food and that you even offer it to us! Like 24storm said, there is not really a great alternative out there! I hope you continue to offer it and will continue to support you. (But understand if you chose not to.)

Sorry to hear this as well. I too have decided to try out some of your fish food based on the great reviews you get on canreef. I hope you continue to help others out by making your 5 star fish food. That's what this hobby is all about...people helping people.

whoever said things to you is a jerk!
like seriously, why would you dink out at her like that?
i was hoping you'd still be making this stuff when i get my tank up,
but some big wrassehole had to go and be a jerk.

do you think you could maybe PM the recipe on how to make this food?
even though i would have alot left over, i know of some places who might want it.

Catherine, you should pm the Canreef staff and forward them them the message. The Canreef admins should ban this scumbag permanently and no one needs to know the identity of the culprit. Canreef can do without his (or her) type.

I hope you still make food and don't succumb to idle threats. I guess if you need to take it private to deal with people or need others to help you make it, I will step up. I do not understand what business it is to anyone what we as adults choose to do. I wish you DID make money for your trouble. I have made batches of food for my puffer and GROSS it is awful to make. The stink and goo, and the smell of my blender frying is enough to make me cry.

I hope this individual took the time to factor in the time, the fuel, effort, wear and tear of your blender and just your sanity in regards to making this food.

I would pay more for the food if needed, and perhaps you should take the steps in making this a part time legitimate business for yourself.

I sure hope you make this food, and if you need help, come on over here and I will take responsibility for doing what you are accused for. Do people not have better things to do instead of making an entire forum suffer because they have issues.

I can make my own food at home, but my Gawd, I would pay more for you to do it since it is yucky. Now what can be done to ensure you are protected form repercussions in case this person does cause grief?
