I recently came across a pond thread about making your own koi food? Many claim this is healthy for the fish and aids in growth and color enhancement. Anyone got any great recipes to share? This is one I came across.

1 cup fish (large tilapia filet, cod, ect)
1/2 cup shrimp tails removed
shrimp tails (baked or set in hot pan until crunchy)
Optional- 4 sea weed wraps ( aka Nori- in the Sushi or oriental isle of supermarket)
1/4 cup broccoli (1/2 cup if not using sea weed)
Optional- 1/4 cup carrots for color enhancement
2 tablespoons brewers yeast
1/4 cup spirilina (pet food
disks have stabilized Vitamin C so I prefer that type)
Optional -1/4 cup dried krill
1 egg
1 cup wheat germ (or substitute with wheat flour)
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp garlic
Using a chopper chop up the spirilina, sea weed, krill, brewers yeast,garlic and shrimp tails. Set aside.
Chop up fish, shrimp and mix in egg. Add to dry ingredients.
Chop up broccoli and carrots and add to mix.
Add wheat germ and flour. Mix to a slightly doughy mix- should only take a minute.
Spray non stick cooking spray on baking sheet and place mixture in flat patties on sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees for 10 to 13 minutes. Cool. May freeze.
Fish go nuts for this stuff.
