There is no evidence from your list - that its a balanced diet for every fish. Now - I will also admit, the food companies also do not provide evidence. I'm not sure why so many people are up in arms - it was a poll. I gave my opinion - which was 'I have made food, but no longer do so, and I gave the rationale. It wasn't like I was making a commandment - anyone can do what they wantTake a look at my list. It's doable

I will look through your posts when I get some time. Thank you. I was thinking of making my own again when I get my tank running again. Wanted to make sure it was worth it.yes I will try - I know I posted it a long time ago (a couple years)
Yes I read the post and understand the concept. You are the one that decided to make the comment about articles and scientific studies about homemade food nutrition deficiencies which is not the content of this thread and you never in your first post mention the term "average hobbyist". My point about LRS and Rod's is they use pretty much the same seafood caught or farm raised that a lot of us use and actually in my case they use much less. They may add a probiotic, and I say may but I am not sure that is part of the natural food source fish eat in the ocean.Are you reading the posts and the concept? I never said Rods or LRS do not provide nutrition. I was talking about home-made food. I doubt the average hobbyist can match them - that was the point. The title of the thread is have you made home made fish food?
Great - best of luck- and the question in the OP was have you ever made home-made fish food. My answer yes. For a variety of reasons I stoppedYes I read the post and understand the concept.

The reason I make my own food is because I know what actually is going in it and IMO it is much more nutritious than any mass produced fish food.
I would say - from a cost perspective it's going to be much cheaper. From a nutritional perspective - IDKI will look through your posts when I get some time. Thank you. I was thinking of making my own again when I get my tank running again. Wanted to make sure it was worth it.
I never commented on LRS or Rods. That is my issue with what you said - they are not 'home-made'. Your opinion is not science (no offense) - and your opinion may not be what's best for your for your fish - but - as I said - best wishes.Yes I read the post and understand the concept.
