Eric Borneman's Famous Fish Food Recipe
Fish food and coral food (coral food is liquefied)
Ingredients
- a whole fresh sea fish
- 10 whole shrimp - I squeeze the heads
- 1 pound fresh mussels - cracked and scraped out
- 1 pound fresh clams including clam juice
- 1 8 oz container fresh oysters
- 1-2 fresh or frozen squid, whole
- 1 package frozen sea urchin cubes
- 1 12 oz package artemia (brine shrimp, frozen), thawed
- 6 types of dried seaweed Nori, Wakame, Hijiki, Dulse, Ano, etc.) - available at Whole Foods market, health food stores, Asian markets.
- about 2 g. powdered sea greens/antioxidants or immune boost complex
- 2 tbsp. marine flake
- 2 tbsp. VibraGro
- 2 tbsp. powdered spirulina
- 1 tbsp Super Selco
Optional (found frozen in Asian markets)
- ark shells
- periwinkles, etc...
Method
- Blend coarse ingredients in food processor
- Mix in fine ingredients (Artemia, powders, flake, Selco)
- Freeze in flats
This makes a LOT of food...approximately 10-12 quart size Ziploc flats.
OPTIONAL: I also make a pigment complex of multiple fresh and health food purchased pigmented animal and plant sources ( such as vegetables with rich colors, carotenoids, etc), mixed with some of the fish food, liquefied, and fed to corals at night.
