I used to make food like this years ago with whole shrimp, peas , and spirulina. My cichlids grew like crazy and had amazing color!

I did this and it worked brilliant! Also if anyone is feeding goldfish, I recommend 2/3 fish , 1/3 veggies for young fish and half and half or the opposite for older fish.

I've made food like this before, but without the water or gelatin - but I guess this way you keep more of the nutrients by not throwing the water away? Will have to give it a try - thanks!

@@FishmanEricRussell Agar agar is also good because it has high nutrition and works similarly to gelatin. Also try adding garlic (after cooking, the thing in the garlic the fish like gets destroyed when cooked). I would say a half a clove? Amazing vid! I have plenty of dried insects for my turtles so I will probably try using those.

Thanks Diva. I try not to use any food that is more than one year old once it's been frozen. Even at the year mark it still seems to get the same response from the fish and looks no different than when I first made it. Just make sure it is sealed tight so you don't get freezer burn.

add spirulina if you dont add meat because they need protein, dried bugs work (and bugs aren't concious if you are worried about animals). Peas work for protein a bit, obvs beans and chickpeas, and if you don't want gelatin i would say use agar agar. I haven't done it yet but this is what I have figured out from researching.
