Where are you shopping that you pay $60/lb for beef tenderloin??? I've only seen Organic tenderloin that high.

I make my own homemade mash out of human grade seafood only. Costs me around $60 per batch and makes 2 or 3 pounds. Takes me about 40 mins to make it once a year. I developed it for aquaculture broodstock diet.

That sounds interesting. Is there a recipe that you would share?

Myka do you just freeze the mash in to portion sizes? Seems like a worthwhile task for the quantity you get

Wild fish are so accepting of the mix that I use it for fish in my QT.

50% pellets
30% brine, pei mysis, hikari mysis, ocean Pacifica and krill.
20% marine algae flakes

I feed my corals pellets and krill.
Fish get it all....

When I ran my wholesale fish system I would feed Pacifica Plankton for omnivores and Nori for grazers. For tiny fish I would use a tiny pellet. I prefer not to feed saltwater fish a freshwater based food source.
