Can't believe I missed this thread! Well I feed quite a variety of foods to keep them little buggers happy, and keep them from being so picky. So here goes:

Cyclopeeze (frozen)
Cyclopeeze wafers
Omega One Marine Flake
HBH Supersoft Pellets
Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef
Ocean Nutrition Seaweed Selects (Green, Red)
Frozen Brine Shrimp
Frozen Mysis
Kent Marine Zoo Max (corals)
Kent Marine Phyto Max (corals)

And that's all I have for now...

That sounds like a great variety JKreef!

My recipe is different each time i make it. I actually made a new batch just lastnight and chose to put a whole block of frozen cyclopeeze in it this time instead of just a little. I was afraid the CBB would not like it but she LOVES it! Yippie!! This recipe consisted of (all fresh ingredients):
1/2 lb of fresh shrimp (shelled)
1/4 lb of salmon
1/4 lb of red tuna
12 mussles
3 large scallops
2 sheets of green nori
1 block of cyclopeeze
(no garlic this time.. I forgot)

Soaked all ingredients (except nori & cyclopeeze) in ro/di for 15-20 min, throw it all in a food processor adding ro/di water as need to keep a thick paste consistancy, spoon into thin flat sheets using freezer bags, freeze, then break into small chunks and place in another freezer bag. Keep frozen and thaw one chunk at a time as needed for feeding~~

The woman behind me at the grocery store got a kick out of my 'fish food' recipe.. LOL~

What is the best food for a fish only tank. I really like mysis shrimp but i think that I should change the diet a little

Woodstock · 11-02-2005, 04:03 PM

Variety, variety, variety.... Try some of the frozen prepared foods, a high quality flake or pellet, and even your own mush recipe~~

rdvab · 11-02-2005, 04:50 PM

I feed blood worms ,mysis shrimp cyclopeeze and some brine shrimp.I actually put it all in a squirt bottle and keep it in the fridge.A couple of healthy squirts a day.

Woodstock · 11-09-2005, 02:23 PM

WREKDYVR · 12-08-2005, 10:21 AM

Pizza and beer!! That's what I feed myself while watching the tank. We actually feed frozen cyclopeeze and mysis, thinking of adding a little variety though. We may have to try one of the above recipe's this weekend. Great poll by the way, I always enjoy reading what works for other reefer's.
