Ok, so apparently I have made some mistakes on my previous batches. The fish love it, albeit they aren't keen on the greens I added to the last batch (spinach and red Ocean Nutrition seaweed). This mix is for my several clownfish pairs (no one is spawning yet), Banggai, Dottybacks...
I definitely don't want to mix in prepared fish foods like brine shrimp, mysis, flake, etc as I like to feed these separately as I think varying the meals is important or the fish get picky. I add Selcon and garlic drops to each feeding rather than in the mix. I really like to use gelatin as a binder, and haven't read any reason to not include it, if anyone knows different please speak up! Most of the seafood I can get is frozen simply because of my location. Fresh seafood aside from fish filets is quite expensive here.
I think I would like to make my mix of human grade seafood meats only, and would prefer to feed nori on a veggie clip that they can munch on during the day while I'm away. Comments?
Here's my plan for my next batch, please comment! LMK if I should have larger or smaller quantities of something.
About 30% raw white shrimp (51-60 count), peeled, swimmerettes on.
Other 70% is equal-ish parts of:
Frozen squid
Frozen baby scallops (pricey, have to find it on sale)
Frozen capelin roe (I have to rinse the orange dye out of it)
Frozen pollock filets (they were on sale this week, so grabbed a package)
Fresh, live clams (the water is always gross...is it really a good idea to buy these live?)
1 packet of Knox unflavoured gelatin per 2 cups food mix.
I want to add salmon as well as I'm told it is very good to add (carotenoids and Oemga 3??), not sure what kind. I see Sockeye, Atlantic, and Pacific. I see Pacific is cheaper, and on sale all the time. Atlantic is on sale right now. Rarely see Sockeye on sale. Which should I get? Does it matter?
