any body make any home made food for there angels and discus, or do you just got to the store and by the expensive blood worms, beef heart, and baby brine shrimp... all i can find is 4.99 a pack any one know of any cheaper places in dfw or have there own recipes?

txredneck don't you have one you did at one time for your angels and discus? pick me up some angels from a friend tonight... going to take the gravel out of the 40g and go bare bottom with a painted ,sides,back,and bottom...

i feed all my angels KENS PREMIUM SPIRULINA FLAKE, its like $17 with shipping for a pound. i havent found a really cheap place for frozen foods, Im sure some where online is a cheap place then you have to pay shipping. i go to petsmart usually to get frozen food unfortunitly.

1 beef heart, well trimmed, cut into cubes
2-3 frozen whiting filets, skin removed, cut into cubes
4 cloves of fresh garlic, finely minced
1 jar baby food banana
1 spirulina capsule, sprinkled over mixture
1 B-complex vitamin crushed and sprinkled over mixture
1 packet of Knox gelatin

I use a hand-grinder and grind the heart twice.
Next grind the whiting and mix in with heart.
Mix in garlic and run through grinder again.
Add banana, spirulina,and vitamin and mix very well.
Make up Knox with hot water according to package directions. Let cool. Add just enough Knox to have a smooth mixture, not soupy! Spread out between wax paper to desired thickness and freeze.
Break apart and keep in zipper freezer bags.

This is what I always use. I do add other things like dried krill, and shrimp when I have them.

Thanks, yep i've been going to petsmart too. it gets expensive to have to buy blood worms at 5.99 a pack i remember when i could get a 40 count for 3.99 5/ for 3.49 each 10 for 3.00 i remember when i was buying discus i got a a 10 pack of 40 count packages of blood worms for $20.00

I started buying vegie and algae wafers in bulk from a store online. They also make some great flake food, 1LB is $9 so overall can't beat that price. As for home made beef heart mix there is a few good "how to's" around the web these days.
