Appendix 1. Paste Formulas for Conditioning Broodstock Fish Formula 1 Formula 2 3 lbs ground beefheart 5 lbs beefheart 3 lbs ground beef liver 5 lbs beefliver 4 raw eggs 2 lbs. high protein mixed cereal baby food 6 oz spinach 2 lbs raw wheat germ 6 oz peas 10 oz split peas 6 oz carrots 20 oz spinach 4 oz oat bran 4 raw eggs 24 drops water soluble multivitamin 8 oz whole shrimp 4 packets unflavored gelatin 4 oz brewers yeast
1. Trim all the excess fat and any connective tissue or tendon (stringy stuff) from the bee heart and liver.
2. Use a food processor or blender to ground the meat into very small pieces or mash.
3. Mix the remaining ingredients except for the gelatin in formula I in a blender or food processor.
4. 4A. For formula 1, the gelatin acts as a binder to hold the mixture into a paste. Mix the gelatin in a pot with as little hot water required to fully dissolve the gelatin. Allow the mixture to cool slightly (still fluid). Pour the mixture into “zip-lock” bags and press them into flat sheets. The paste should be refrigerated until used or stored for long periods frozen.

5. 4B. Formula 2 requires the mixture to be cooked using a double broiler until the mixture becomes slightly grainy. The mix is then placed into “zip-lock” bags and pressed into sheet for stor age. The mix should be refrigerated until used, and stored for long periods frozen.
There are many variations on these formulas. Each one can be tailored to suit nutritional needs of specific fish and available ingredients. The one thing they all have in common, is high quality protein. Other ingredients such as Spirulina can be added at 0.5 - 1.0 % by weight. For fish that are more herbivorous, the fish meal or red meat components can be reduced and vegetable protein such as soy bean meal can be substituted. Before making up your own paste formula, consult the litera- ture to find the natural diet of the fish and then formulate it.
