frozen fish food available in delhi...for free

[juanico]

hi guys

do something good for your fish.
look for a lake, water pond, etc with live in it.
catch mosquito larvae and maybe daphnia, or find a generous donor of mosquito larvae ,
rinse it at home, sieve and freeze it and then cut it into small cubes... done





for ground fish you can put the cubes directly into the water, it will sink after a few seconds


for other fish defrost it first and feed it...






cheers

according to the mosquito larvae donor it took him 30 min to get a nice amount.
rinsing, freezing, cutting cubes...10 min max.

maaan!! I was having my breakfast when I was reading this. you should have put a disclaimer

where does one catch these?? does any one culture these??

I think the LFS (atleast LFS forum) people can pick this up and help us out on large scale.

This is what I tried last time with tubifex too. Sadly had very little quatity. After the tubifex is properly treated (ppm), divide into two groups. One to be used as live feed the other as frozen. Now use a ferrero rochet kind of tray (the cubes are kind of inverted pyramids). evenly spread out the worms to be frozen in there and stuff it in the freezer. Use it when you need. Will try the same soon and give you a detailed account!

@bappa

i tried to freeze tubifex once. maybe the temperature needed to be really low. anyway, they bled to death first. the tray was red and the mass of worms a thin pile in the middle!

Had they been frozen instantly, i could have got better results...
