so basically this is a good reminder to support your LFS rather than chase a bargain online only to be stung this way.

#313056 My Discus Beef Heart Mix

Posted by Angelo on 11 April 2014 - 10:59 PM

Did a DIY beefheart mix a couple of weeks ago. the discus love it and went crazy when i got this in the tank. its vanished a lot faster than the commercial one i get from my lfs. 

 

I used 

Beef heart pieces from woolies

spinach

garlic

carrot

spirulina flakes and

discus trace ( 2 cap fulls )

 

spinach and carrot were boiled in water for a few minutes. then it was all ingredients in the blender and away we go.

 

I also added a little gelatine dissolved in water to give it some texture.

 

here's a couple of pics.

I got 2 large sandwich bags from the amount of ingrediants I used.

i reckon at your age you should be very proud of yourself as you seem very knowledgeable and have a great understanding of the hobby. don't let some idiots let you think otherwise.

#309907 Adding Sand To My Tank Video

its most likely play sand but i would have rather bought it from bunnings, costs around 8 bucks for 20kg.
