Local food...
Has anyone local here ever tried to harvest food from the ocean? Would adding fresh crab meat, copepods, chopped molusk meat (like mussels and what not) be a safe thing to consider? Living just a couple blocks from the beach had me thinking it might even be healtier for my fish to give them some food fresh out of the ocean.
I currently am feeding my butterfly mysid and brine shrimp with Selcon occasonally, but people are telling me I should add other foods to his diet. |

What fish do you have? I'm planning on raising phytoplankton and maybe zooplankton. I'd suggest you do the same. Here's the site I'm using: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issu...02/breeder.htm
I had another site on favorites, but the page couldn't be found. |

I'm more interesting in going down to the local tide pools and harvesting 'pods to suppliment my fish food with. Growing my own plankton seems kind of silly if I could just go harvest some from the local beaches.

In the book 'Breeding Orchid Dottybacks' by Martin Moe, collecting wild plankton was the only way he was able to raise the fry succesfully. I have also collected plankton using a bright light at night. most of what I collected was zooplankton and my purpose was to see what it would turn into, mostly blennies.

I was once yelled at for taking a cup of water with some sand in it. If you get a permit, you're cool. http://www.dfg.ca.gov/enforcement/refuges.html
