I try to add Flying Fish roe, but I usually forget to add it. I make enough food to sell some to local reefers (which covers the cost of ALL the food for me...smrt of me), and I don't want to use the expensive Flying Fish roe in the bags for the reefers, and I always forget to add it to my own bags.

I think the mussel (or clam), salmon, and squid are all very important in the food for fecundity, but I'm no nutrition expert. People often tout the clam in the Rod's Foods in reference to broodstock feeds - I have no ideas if those people know what they are talking about or not.
The shrimp shells are important as a source of chitin - I learned the hard way that a lack of chitin causes eggs to fall off the tile. I don't think the basa or cod filets cover anything that isn't covered by salmon or shrimp...I sometimes wonder why I put it in there.
One other thing, the mussels I use are New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels (which are the only ones easily available to me, and happen to be economically priced woohoo) which have some publicity lately for their Omega-3 anti-inflammatory properties (and other health benefits). I'm not sure if these particular mussels are
particularly good to add to the broodstock diet or not.
