Ok I'm giving this a shot, so far ATM I have raw shrimp, raw squid, baby octopus, and mussel (says precooked so unsure) was planning on adding artificial Rotifera, brine shrimp, krill, and silversides. Anyone tried this type of thing before and is any of this possibly An item I should leave out?

I've got a plastic mini- icecube tray made for this.. I never tried it, but your welcome to the tray Smile The mix sounds good, but I'd rinse everything really well in RO or SW. Juices will not be eaten and will just pollute your tank water.

Eddie, your kitchen is going to smell so nice...well to any stray cats. Living down wind from you will be pleasant... NOT :-)

On a serious note, what about adding some real garlic?

Didnt think of rinsing thanks J. We have 2 cats one came and sniffed the mussels but apparently it didnt compare to cat chow. Garlic...would I just mix it in the food processor as well? Just assumed fish wouldnt go for tiny pieces of garlic lol. I did read about adding some flake and we purchased some spirulina (sp?) to add as well.

I would think that if you used a garlic press, that pushes the garlic juice and some of the pithy substance through, but keeps in the press the long fibres.
Now how much of that to use is the question, looking at the flake food I have here Veg = 2%, so only a little it seems.

I'd press the garlic as well. Or buy minced and just spoon out some juice.

Also, I wouldn't use anything pre cooked. I did this about eight months ago and I'm still using it

Made the mix...added too much spirulina but fish don't seem to mind. (put it in ziplock bags in thin sheets and I just snap small piece off). The spirulina just gave it a nice green color.

The spiraling is an excellent addition. Used to feed it to my tadpoles to help increase their color as they morphed into forgets. I use a flake food high in spiralin to feed my fish and their colors look great ( especially the purple tang) and the fish love it.
