    It is a nice way to go and makes feeding much more strait forward. When you do it be sure that you de-thaw the foods in a fridge. If they get above fridge temps you cannot safely re-freeze them. As far as vitamins, garlic is a good way to start to attract fish, but a good source of amino acids will help keep them healthier. Brightwell makes a product called Amino-Mega that works very well.

    It probably wouldn't be good for more than a week. You can freeze it thin and flat in freezer bags. It makes it easy to break off a small chunk every time you feed.

    The shop I work for makes food for store use as well as for customers to buy. It has in it:

    Hikari Brine Shrimp
    Hikari Blood Worms
    Hikari Mysix Shrimp
    Hikari Fortified Krill
    Argent Cyclop-Eeze
    Nutramar Prawn Eggs
    Piscine Energetics Mysis Shrimp
    Brightwell Aquatics Garlic
    Ocean Nutrition Marine Algae With Garlic
    Brightwell Aquatics Amino Mega

    We make it in huge batches and because it never fully thaws it doesn't get liquidy enough to freezer burn and lasts for at least a month.
