fish farm experts,
What are the variety of fish feeds that you use?
I know about the pilletized coppens, multifeed, vital brands.
Any other types?
Some say you can make your own feed. What are the main raw materials for this home made feed?
Please share your knowledge on this forum.

I heard some people use boiled cow blood as fish feed.
Has anyone tried this before?
I have also seen an agro-feed shop selling scrap indomine noodles.
what are your views.

so i heard too.never tried it though.

i make use of few quantity of commercial feed,later i use probiotic to produce algae and other beneficial bacterials which the fish can feed on naturally. i save few money doing these, i also tried building poultry house on top of one of my fish pond,the chicken manure served as fertilizer and feeds for my fish and the result was good (though i still applied commercial feeds but very few).
i visited some farms in Asia,what they do is they add 50% duckweek and 50% commercial feeds to produce Tilapia,they got a good result.
