I decided to make some fish food yesterday for my finicky new wrasse by blending up shrimp, clams, mussels, etc. and all my fish love it. This leads me to wonder, what are the pros and cons of homemade food vs store bought
 
I've been making my own food for a while now, and the biggest pro for me is how cheap it is compared to store bought. One thing I have noticed however is that it seems to effect water quality more drastically than other store bought foods if overfed. So be careful how much you feed.
