Hmm recipe.. LOl guess that would be good to include. Here is what I did..
Ingredients..
4 medium large shrimp steamed and frozen purchased in the bag at Giant.
6 cubes of the frozen shrimp you normally buy for your fish.
4 cubes of frozen blood worms.
6 cloves of fresh garlic peeled and chopped.
3 broccoli florets.
1 cup of fresh peas, lightly blanched for 5 minutes on high boil
1 handful of fresh green spinach also blanched for 1 1/2 minutes on high boil
1/2 fresh cucumber
1 fresh orange, squeeze the juice and add a little of the pulp not too much just a bit.
Directions.
Toss it all in the blender and mix for 30 seconds or so.. Dont want a total liquid. You want a bit of chunk in there. Take an old ice cube tray you want one with small cubes. Fill and level then freeze. IF you dont have ice cube trays you can use a ziploc bag pour your mix in seal and flatten then freeze. Once everything is frozen one cube will feed a whole tank of fish. If you used the ziploc method cut or break off a piece or two. Toss into the tank and watch what ensues.
I used the cube method as my fish are used to frozen cubes of shrimp or bloodworms. (I made it both ways cube and sheet.) The cubes melted slowly letting the particles fall into the tank the fish ate it up. They would hit the cube breaking off lots of particles and then swarm what particles would float down. Every fish in the tank ate heartily including the placos who cleaned up. One of the placos I have is a big fella but very shy only coming out when the lights in the tank are at night settings but the big fella was out feeding on particulants that fell to the bottom of the tank.
Downside was all the particles that floated around for a bit in the tank. However, 1 hour in all particles are gone and the fish feed at leisure off the bottom grazing. I will be feeding one cube at least once to twice a week in my tanks.
I will also be altering this mix to use only fresh raw shrimp.
