i was wondering if anyone out there has ever tried to make homemade frozen food for thier fish from stuff you can get in your supermarket? Does anyone know of any sites which show you what types of ingredients to use and how much of them.
Thanks

Go to an oriental food store and buy some nori (seaweed in sheets) unseasoned.
1/4 pound of each fresh: squid, clams, mussels, fish fillet, scallops and shrimp.
Put the seafood in a blender and puree adding water to get a consistency of a thick soup.
Take 2 or 3 sheets of the nori, cut into 1 inch strips and add to the blender, add more water to maintain the thick soup consistancy.
Put about 3 tablespoons into a small sandwich bag, repeat until you use all the mix.
Double bag and freeze. When you want to feed, break off one third of the bag, defrost slightly and then add it to the tank.

Here's a recipe. It's like formula 1 frozen food but with more fresh additives like carrots and such.
Start with ANY greens, fruits and vegetables you can find. An example would include, but not be limited to; carrots, broccoli, yams, oranges, apples, Romaine lettuce, etc.
Put all the above in a blender or food processor.
Slowly add shrimp, crab legs (both with shells), and/or smelt. Do not use any fish that would contain high levels of oils, like herring or mackeral. Blend mixture as fine as possible. Add liquid vitamins or crushed tablets, you can also add Selco or Selcon. The mixture
should have the consistancy of mud. Add some liquid to thin it up if it appears to thick, carrot or sweet potato juice works well for this purpose as it is high in vitamin content. You can also use clam juice or water.
Next: Boil 100-150ml of water and add the same amount of unflavored gelatin. Mix the gelatin and vegetable mixture together pour the resulting mixture into a rectangle pan and
allow to cool. You can place the mixture in the freezer but be sure to score the mixture before it is completely hardened, to make it easier to separate later.
After the mixture is frozen you can separate the pieces and place them in freezer bags for use as needed.
