Re: Home made fish mix

Wow, thanks for all that fishnut. I had spinach and peas growing here too (chemical free) until the heat got too much for them. I occasionally feed peas to my freshwater fish and I've been keeping the fish food in the bottom of the fridge for up to 4 days as I feed it out. I threw out the last 1/2 teaspoon last night (gave it to the cat) as I figured 4 days was plenty long enough in the fridge but it still smelt perfect.

We buy garlic already mixed in a bottle, minced garlic (I've never been able to get it to grow here) would that be ok to use do you think? The label says it contains garlic, salt, sugar, food acid (330).

The house still rocking bit - while I was typing that and after being on the houseboat for 2 days, it felt like our house was going up and down and I was sure the horizon was moving through the windows. I was actually feeling a bit spaced out at that point :)

Yeehaa!
Remember I asked about this not long ago? Well there is a guy who comes to our town once a week selling fresh seafoods and I just spoke to him this morning. Very nice guy and seemed to know exactly what I wanted. He sells his stuff prepackaged in amounts that are a bit big for my 5 fish but will bring for me next week a small package of many different things specially for me - prawns, squid, whiting etc. How great is that! I even know where it's been caught and that it's not polluted water. My pyjama cardinals have been eating prawns and squid (scrounged out of friend's freezers) along with the brine shrimp now so things are looking up. I also managed to get a product called green marine but it has no ingredients on the package. Looks to be for the algae eating fish and the coral beauty likes that but then he likes anything that goes into the tank.

I've just spent 2 days on a friend's houseboat and was going to bring back some mud crab to try them on but we only caught one and that was devoured by the humans. I am covered in sandfly bites, I counted almost 100! My house is also still rocking which is starting to get annoying :) 


Hello Miskairal,

What does "My house is also still rocking" mean ?
When you get your "fish" food, mix frozen spinach, cooked frozen peas
(shelled), and put through a blender. Pat the mix into pancakes ( I
use pyrex lids), then freeze. Next day remove the mix from the pyrex
lids, put into polybags and return to the freezer. Smash a piece off
the pancake with a hammer, and place in the coldest part of the
'fridge, and feed it to the fish every day or so - good cheap food !
I have never tried a carrot in the mix, but I understand they will eat
it. If you have garlic available - frozen or fresh - they will like
that. Also a crushed vitamin C, D, or multivitamin tablet.
The world is your .........

Regards, Fishnut.
