Fish feasts from scratch: Have you ever made DIY fish food?
There are many ways to feed the fish, corals, and other livestock in our tanks such as pellets, flakes, frozen foods, and many types of live foods. Often, we don’t know exactly what is in these foods and are left to rely on the manufacturer to add what we hope will be the best ingredients into the food. Additionally, sometimes the manufacturers add ingredients that are to help the food be shelf-stable, be visually appealing, and other factors that don’t improve the health of the tank inhabitants. One alternative approach that requires some extra work is to make the food yourself be blending healthy ingredients. Please let us know if you have ever made DIY fish food. If so, feel free to share tips and recipes with the R2R community!
