How many of you out there have a homemade fish food or coral food recipe? Or do you know someone who has a recipe?

I would have to say though, the 2010 recipe was my favorite! You will have to search for that one!!

I've used squid,octopus,"sea monkeys" and green algae in my mixes.....just add it all to a blender,alittle bit of water blend and add to an icecube tray that has smaller cubes than normal.Then each night I just threw one into the tank.Right now it's what my sons mother is doing since she over-feeds using flake food.

Alternate method for small cubes:

Instead of an icecube tray, line a pan with wax paper or foil. Place a piece of eggcrate in the pan and fill with your home-made mix. Once frozen let thaw just enough to get the cubes out of the eggcrate.

Awesome idea I will use this method when I make my food.
