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.
