Do you know the species of tadpoles you keep? Generally speaking, I'd guess that you'd probably want to adjust Kurt's recipe so that it's heavier on the veggies, and lighter on the protien (but not completely devoid of it). Corey:

I use it for everything from SA Cichlids to Tropheus. I tell everyone that if you have all omnivores you can go heavier on vegetable matter or if you have all piscivires go heavier on fish/shrimp. I am sure that you can adapt this based on the need of the frogs/tadpoles. I am sure that their nutritional needs are different than fish. Corey,

Is the food specifically for any particular kind of fish, or is this a good base food that you then work more specific died needs on top of? For example contrasting more veggie eaters vs. more predatory fish... I wonder how this would work for my tadpoles :D lol Funny, I’ve been using peprika in my Frog vitamin mix for years… good for color but also just a good nutritional additive anyways.

Specifically it provides Excellent A B6 & E as well as good amounts of fiber, C, Omega 3 & 6 as well as the rest of the B-Complex....Nothing was put in the recipe without serving a nutritional benefit. Paprika surprised me too. I'm using it more at home in my own foods now! Kris got it pretty good.

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:03:44 +0000 http://www.guitarfish.org/?p=577#comment-2156 Just curious - does the inclusion of paprika in the recipe serve for anything other than color, or is there actually a nutritional benefit? Garlic, I know, both boosts immunity and adds flavor (many fish apparently find it appetizing, just like some of us!), but the inclusion of paprika definitely took me by surprise - so is there a benefit, or is it optional? I ask because it's the one ingredient, besides all the powdered protien sources, that I don't normally keep in my pantry.

Because I have an account but it doesn't allow me to see anything; it says I need permission. Great post, btw. Thank you for sharing and thanks to Kurt for letting you share. :-) Was the picture supposed to link anything in particular on Flickr?
