Who makes their own fish food?

[SL38]

Just wondering if alot of people here make their own fish food? Is it cheaper to make and healthier for fish?

Here is a post I made in another thread, I copied and pasted it here:

Well IMO, DIY homemade frozen foods are awesome. I will start by suggesting you find as much fresh food as you can like in the seafood market at better grocery stores. Some of the frozen stuff has a lot of extra additives that I just don't feel comfortable with.

Here is what is in mine;
-from the seafood dept at a grocery store-
Salmon
Scallops
Halibut
Shrimp
Oysters
Mussels
Squid
Clams

-already frozen prepaired food-

Brine shrimp
Mysis
Silversides
Blood worms
Formula 1
Formula 2
Prime reef

-dry foods-
Formula 1 pellets
Formula 1 flakes
Formula 2 pellets
Formula 2 flakes
Prime reef flakes
Brine shrimp flakes
Marine complete pellets
Marine grow flakes
Jullian Sprungs aglae
3 different types of spirulina red, green, brown

I also add;
Phytoplankton
Garlic
Vitachem

Throw all of this in the food processor and blend away, try not to make it into mush, just blend it enough to get all small pieces. Very small, but not mush.
I then take a couple large cookie sheets, I cut a piece of egg crate, cut it to fit into the cookie sheet, then spread out the food and press into all of the squares on the egg crate. Throw it all in the freezer, then the next day take it out, press out all the new "cubes" and put then in bags of 20, and keep them in the freezer.

My fish seem to love it and they eat everything.

HTH

Good luck
