Josie's (Miranda's) Beefheart mix

[Mugwump]

The next question we are asked most often is how do we make our beefheart mix. We posted the recipe on our website, but here it is in case you missed it. You can adjust the quantities according to your needs, and feel free to add other ingredients that your discus may like.

10 lb trimmed beef heart
1 lb salmon (skin off)
1 lb shelled jumbo shrimp
3/4 lb cooked spinach
1 large ripe banana
2 vitamin/mineral tablets (ground)
2 fish oil capsules (1000 mg, cut open)
2-3 tbsp ground garlic
1/2 cup spirulina flake (binder)
1/2 cup high quality flake food (binder)

Grind the first 5 ingredients together using a meat grinder or food processor.
Mix the remaining ingredients into the ground meat mixture using food processor (low speed).
Pack 1.0-1.5 lb in flat sheets in 1 gallon ziplock bags.
Freeze until ready to use.

Looks good, smells good, and the discus love it!

I'd have to do a lot of quantity adjusting.

I haven't made beef heart in years.  Way too much trouble.
