Frozen cube food question
- Thread starter limaluis17
- Start date
All frozen food packages are the same, and they carry water more than nutrients. The best frozen food for fish is the home made one if you want to make some for your fish. It has more nutrients for them, and it lasts you for the long time.
In the other hand, you can feed your fish with pellets also to balance their diets.
Hope this helps.

Here's the link to my fish food thread. If you want to take a shot at making your own it's fairly simple just a little bit of time /effort and smelly kitchen and hands for a bit lol. http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72952
Thing you'll need is a food processor (any size will do but the bigger the better), egg crate from your lfs( use white its a bit more flexible the black one breaks very easily) , and those baking trays from the 99 cent store. I buy my sea food at the 99 ranch market, rinse in rodi, process, then spread out on a sheet of egg crate over a baking pan to hold it together while it freezes. Once frozen just pop the cubes out into a zip lock bag and good to go. If you just care to buy some I have maybe half an egg crate or so left from my last batch, I just have to pop em out... like 5 bucks worth so you can try em. If you want to buy more I will be making more sometime next week. Only thing is next batch I won't include cuttlefish squid or octopus as it adds sooo much more work and takes more time because it's hard to process, then your stuck removing all the pieces you feel are too large for most fish to eat as your spreading over the egg crate.

You can do that just that the mix in those bags isn't always what you want in it. A blender would probably work but will most likely leave huge chunks unless you blend with water but will probably be messy. You can get a 30 to 50 dollar processor that will do a solid job without water and every cube will be packed with straight up food nothing else. If you decide to make some and have questions just hmu
