I realized my angels don't particularly like being fed food meant for nano fish...so it was time to make them some larger-sized fish food!
As some of you know, I feed pappone to my corals (mixture of shrimp, mussels, clams, oysters, sugar, and algae). It's dosed with amino acids.
Anyway, I needed a similar recipe for the angelfish.
I started with some scallops, shrimp, and oysters. The key is that they all need to be as fresh as possible!!
I then chopped them all into 1/4" pieces (still identifiable)
I then made small icecube-sized portions and froze them.
To make my coral food, I used the rest of the fresh seafood and placed it into a food processor and added Red, Brown, and Green Algae
I usually add in whatever other foods (like cyclopeeze, spectrum, etc) that I got on sale or free from raffles
You can add sugar, garlic, selcon, or many other additives
Everything goes into the processor for 5 min on, 2 min off, 5 min on, 2 min off, 5 min on
Then, I place a heaping spoonful into ziploc bags and flatten them out. Makes it easy to tear off portions
Then FREEZE! The recipe given below makes enough to feed all of my tanks for probably a couple of years (it always goes bad before I can use it all).
So, my recipe is as follows:
5 large shrimp, raw
1/4 lb scallops/mussels/clams or whichever is the freshest at the store (or all if available)
1/4 lb raw oysters
10g each of Red, Green, and Brown algae
1/2 tsp sugar
garlic
Whatever else I can add
