The discus have been growing well, and I feel that it is time to move them onto a more fish-based diet, so I have come up with a variation on one of the earlier recipes, with this beef heart mix for growing fish. As before, this beef heart mix is aimed at young fish, I used decapsulated brine shrimp, Spirulina, fish and spinach.
Information
- Type: fish food
- Preparation time: 20 minutes
- Total time: 1 hour
- Yield: 500g
Ingredients
- 75 g spinach
- 12 g decapsulated brine shrimp
- 1 clove garlic
- 125 g beef heart (fat, arteries, veins and lining removed)
- 125 g fresh or frozen fish
- 25 g Spirulina
- gelatin (enough to make up 500 ml)
- water
Instructions
- Soak the spinach in boiling water until it becomes soft
- Rehydrate the decapsulated brine shrimp, 25 g of shrimp needed 30-40 ml of water for rehydration
- Cut up the beef heart, fish and spinach into small pieces
- Mince the garlic (I use a garlic press for this)
- Place spinach, brine shrimp, garlic, beef heart and Spirulina into a blender, mixing until it forms a smooth paste (some people prefer to use a mincer)
- Make up the gelatin with 100 ml of water and add into the blender
- Mix the gelatin into the paste
- Place mixture into containers to chill before freezing (I use 9-10 10×15 cm grip-lock bags, placing approximately two large tablespoons into each bag)
