high fat diet

Dear All,

For one of my experiments, I would like to give my fish a high fat
diet . Can anyone suggest me a recipe (for high fat diet) for the
same?

Thanking you in advance,

With Best Wishes,

Noopur,

No commercially available formulated diet springs to mind. However,
using drosophila maggots would be a cheap source of food with a very
high lipid content.

Dear All,

I would not recommend letting Drosophila maggots getting
anywhere near a zebrafish facility. Unfortunately I cannot recommend an
alternative high fat feed, I can offer experience with a fly infested
fish lab, which is highly unpleasant and almost impossible to correct.
Hence why I would discourage flies.

Cheers and Best Wishes,
