I have been asked this question often and I will like to share what I feed my fish and coral.
First of all, when fish meat and seafood are blended together into a mush, it doesn’t matter if the meaty substance is from salmon, whitefish, or “Puff the magic dragon”. It just plain solid wholesome goodness.
Second, I don’t know why people are feeding fresh water mysis shrimps to marine fish and coral, so there is no reason to add PE Mysis into the mix.
Third, by keeping it simple and use human grade fish seafood, you can be sure you are giving your beloved pets the best you can offer, not something that swept off fishing docks and blended with water.
So here we go the simple way to make your fish and coral happy:
1 part of raw salmon
1 part of raw shrimp
1 part of raw scallops (optional)
Soak in tap water for 15 minutes then rinse well in the sink to remove phosphate coating (seafood and fish are required by law to coated with phosphate in order to suppress bacteria growth to meet safety standards)
Steal the favorite blender from your significant other, if you don’t have a significant other, go steal one from your mother. Put the above mentioned raw material in the blender Without adding any water, then blend the ingredients into mush.
Scoop the mush into ziplock bags and pat them flat, put them in the freezer.
This stuff is potent so only feed a small amount to your fish tank.
For tangs, supplement with dry pellets.
Last, wash the blender over and over again or you will be sleeping in the garage (or the homeless shelter nears you).
Here is what my homemade frozen food looks like:
