    Kangaroo fillet instead of beefheart in DIY food?

    I ran across a thread on another site that suggested the use of kangaroo fillet instead of beefheart when making diy fish food (most commonly discus food).



    Beefheart is used because of its low fat content (when meticulously trimmed) and high protein content.



    Kangaroo fillet also has very low fat content and high protein.



    Beefheart can be hard to find and costly compared to the readily available and cheap kangaroo fillet.



    here is some nutritional info on kangaroo fillet







    Nutrition Facts per 100g



    Kilojoules 410 kj



    Calories 98 kcal



    Protein 22.9 g



    Fat 0.2 g



    Carbohydrate 1.5 g





    Anyone got any thoughts on this one?



    I'm about to make up a new batch of fish food and i'm thinking of giving it a go.

    Thanks

    no reason it shouldn't work, protein is protein, to be honest I got lazy one and just used extra trim beef mince and it worked ok, lot of sinew though.

    You know. That is just not something we find on the shelf here in Canada. Caught me a little by surprise.

    Just a quick update on the new roo fillet mix


    used roo fillet
    scallops with row attached
    white fish (can't remember which type i used)
    green prawns
    spirulina powder
    astaxanthin powder
    paprika
    egg yolk
    dried pellets (blended, as a binder)
    spinach
    peas



    all fish are smashing it, EXCEPT my new discus... which is a pain in the a$$


    I'll keep trying with them as they have proven to be terrible eaters so far



    cheers
