Hey everyone,
After learning that I need to diversify my frozen food, I turned to DIY and I’m curious of what exactly I should use to make the food. My livestock is as follows, Ocelaris Clown, 2x Green Chromis, Yellow Watchman Goby, Sunset Dottyback, Flame Tail Blenny, and a Green Mandarin. All are fairly small (1-2”) except for the YWG, Mandarin, and the Dottyback. I would also like to spot feed my acan with this blend.

Does it matter how much I mix together or could I just add the amount I get? And how would I prepare it?

No- as long as ingredients are pure and chopped up

My diy food mostly consisted of freeze fried mysis and brine shrimp, frozen squid, shrimps, and scallops, all soaked with aminomega by brightwell and selcon. All of my fish love it.

Just made my first batch a couple weeks ago. I used. Clams and oysters that I shucked and froze and grated those in a food processor along with shrimp, fish, and octopus. I mixed that with freeze dried plankton, mysis, and Arctic copepods. I also added fish eggs, chopped nori, Vita chem, and brightwell aminos.
