Hi guys,

I want to try my hand at live food for cichlid fry.
If anyone has some extra brine shrimp eggs or microworms that they can part with, let me know.

If you have any other suggestions about other foods I can use, I'd be happy to hear your advice as well.

I have vinegar eel culture and I can get a micro worm culture, if you want. I have a food paste for adult and fry that I found to be excellent to promote growth and color:
February 21, 2004
J/R oe Gourmet Fish Food
This receipt was borrowed from other receipts and advice from reputable Aquarists, hobbyists and retailers. It has, what we believe to be, the best for coloration, growth, and leaves no protein/oil residue on surface of water. We are feeding the fish 2 X’s per week.

3 - 4 oz. jars of creamed spinach (Gerber #2)
3 - 4 oz. jars of peas (Beechnut #1)
3 - 4 oz. jars of greenbeans (Beechnut #1)
3 - 4 oz. jars of sweet potatoes (Beechnut #1)
3 - 4 oz. jars of carrots (Beechnut #1)
1 - 4 oz. jars of peaches (Beechnut #1)
6 oz. of freeze-dried Krill (crushed) or more if needed to have a firm consistency
1/2 lb. scallops (raw)
1/2 lb. Scrod fish (raw)
1/2 lb. shrimp (boil 2 minutes & schelled)
Grate the scallops, Scrod & shrimp in osterizer with 1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons of Tetra Bits
1 1/2 teaspoons of Paprika powder
1 1/2 tablespoons of Spirillina powder
1/2 teaspoon of grated Anise seeds
2 tablespoons Brewers Yeast powder
6 tablespoons of single grain oatmeal Baby cereal by Gerber
3 hard boiled egg yolks (grated)
2 cups of large food pellets(color enhancer) by Green Thumb Aquatics (grated)
[can substitute with High Pro dog food]
* Mix together until a thick paste develops, if too moist add more freeze dried Krill.
Refrigerate overnight
Fill quart size (7” X 8”) plastic zip lock bags until 1/8” thick, for ease of breaking off, throughout the bag and freeze. Date the bags.
Should make 13 bags of food, make no more than can be used in a few months.
To feed place frozen food in a plastic container and float in a pail of hot water.


enjoy,
Joe
