Hi Steven. That's the beauty of a beefheart recipe. You can add just about anything to it. Think of it as meat and vegies for fish LOL

I believe the asian breeders use whatever kind of heartmeat they can find, along with left over vegetables from the food markets. I doubt they have a lot of money to spend on food for their fish, so the variety of vegetable may vary from day to day.

I don't usually cook the vegetables too much, mainly just steam them to soften them off, especially the carrots.

Liver is good, and I have used it, but only in small amounts mixed in with the beefheart and vegetables. Liver has a lot of blood in it, and needs to be cooked before mincing otherwise is just goes into a mush.

The last time we made a meat mix, we decided to try kangaroo mince. The fish love it, and you don't have to do all that cutting out of stuff that you don't want from the beefheart.
