DIY Food Question

[sdminson]

So I decided after reading all about everyone making their own food to give it a shot I went to the store and bought all the ingredients but as for squid all I could find was a package of whole squid about an inch in half in length each. When put in the blender they turned into a black substance Im guessing because the ink in them. My question is will these be safe to feed my fish, or did I need to purchase just squid pieces?

I'm not sure what effect it will have in such small doses, but I remember reading that ink would do a number on water quality when keeping octopuses. I can't imagine that it's a good thing. Especially if it's used as a defense mechanism in the wild. I wouldn't risk it. When it comes to squid, I prefer to just use the body portion. The tenticles and head are pretty tough and end up stringy when trying to blend them. Hope this helps.

That seems to be the common consensus with that food. Glad it worked out for you, Chris!

You were not supposed to feed it all at once...
