DIY treats

I decided to make some treats for all of my fish today.... It was messy but they love it here is what I used;
1lb uncooked unpeeled shrimp
1 1/2 clove of garlic
4 500mg spirulina capsules, emptied from the capsule ($7 from health food store)
3 tilapia fillets
10oz mysis shrimp
1 pack of glass worms (the usual frozen blister pack size)
1 pack of brine shrimp
1 pack krill
roughly a pound or so of peas, zucchini and carrot's

Blenderize it all till smooth, you may need to add a little bit of water sometimes to help it blend. Get some freezer Ziploc bags and put some in them squeeze air out and flatten so you can break bits off easily for feeding. My ratios ended up qiute thick and held together nicely so I didn't need to add any gelatin to keep it together, yours may need it. Make sure everything you use is raw and uncooked, fish are funny with cooked foods.
This stuff was such a hit that I actually had a few fights break out over it!!

Great article

cool

I just mixed and matched from various recipes that I found online, and went with what I could get.

thank u for the treats will make up some this week

ooo who said sushi? I loves me some sushi

sounds like an extra special treat

Well this stuff works so well that all of my corys plastered eggs all over their tanks even the first batch of bronzes that I grew up! I'm so amazed that it got them to spawn ahead of their usual schedule!
Now I need to do the math and see how old those bronzes are...... This is their first spawn
I would've be surprised if I get some more action in the tanks from this stuff!!!!! If your fish wont spawn for you make some of this and you will get results!!

i just did this and added 1 beef heart and 1lb of mixed seafood mix from albertsons, then did the gelitin thing ... around 6 lbs of food , enough for 2 months hopefully

Good job Fab, let us know how they like it


This is one of those make it up as you go things, as long as its good for fish toss it in and let us know how you made yours and how your fish like it!

Mine is lasting a long time. I don't feed it everyday though

I did the straight up European shrimp mix (thanks for the link/info Jojo) & my fish are absolutely killing it!!! Its a little early to see any drastic changes in color or size, but if the way they eat it is any indication, this is green gold!!!

NICE!!!!
