My Discus food mix

[kaiser72]

Hi everyone. as i am a newbie to the hobby, but also a chef. i have concocted a recipe for beefheart baseddiscus food.

I use:
1 x beefheast.(trimed of all fat and veins)
3 cloves of fresh garlic.
12 frozen brine shrimp blocks.(or raw prawns)
3/4 of a cup of soaked spirulina algae disks( i use boiling water.drain water well.)
1 tsp of spirulina powder.
5 mls of soluvets liquid vitamin. (used it for my birds, available some from petshops & online.very powerful so use sparingly.)
1 heeped desert spoon of quality flake food.

method:
place all ingreidents except the flakes into a food processor and blend the crap out of it. use the flakes as a thickening agent insted of gelitine. you may need to adjust the consistancy to suit your self.

i use my empty bloodworm, brine shrimp packets as portion control.

i have used paprika aswell but my spice rack is in poor condition at the moment.
cheers,
Troy
