Grant,
Great varied beef heart mix, but can i be honest and please doing get upset. :cry:

I think there is too much multivitamins in a mix of that size.

I would be inclined to add only one crushed tablet, which would be more than enough. :D

Adding more is not necessarily better. :)

Other than that it is an excellent mix and thanks for sharing! :wink:

Cheers

Hi Ben,

No offence taken at all!

Thanks for the suggestion - I have now changed my recipe accordingly :)

Always good to have a number of points of view.

Thanks mate

In fact - I have now edited the alteration into the recipe up the top of the thread.

Any other recommendations people ?

i find that powdered spirulina works very well. i think it would particularly be benefitial to young fish. IMO

[G-1000]

Yeh - totally agree GP.

The spirulina flakes are powdered up in my recipe (although it obviously isnt spirulina powder - it should be close enough).

Spot on now Grant!

The spirulina flakes will be fine, instead of raw spirulina it has some binding agents.

Will still do the trick!

Cheers
Ben
