The Recipe: (I only made a portion as not all ingredients were available)
2 fresh raw beef hearts 2 lbs. raw peeled shrimp 5 oz steamed spinach (I used frozen chopped)
1/4 lb cooked mashed carrots 1/4 lb krill powder (I omitted this)
1-2 oz. spirulina powder (I used 4 oz, found at a health food store
2 oz alfalfa powder (from health food store, leaf that I ground)
1/2 tsp vitamins ( I used ester-C human, and vita chem)
1 tsp Omega 3 fish oil 5 garlic cloves 6 TBL gelatin - I used more
Soften gelatin in boiling water, puree all moist ingredients must make thick as possible. Mix with powders and
Premium flake food (approx. 1 lb to make thick paste)
The shrimp can have fresh fish substituted, but shrimp help to firm the mixture.
Place mixture in large zip lock bags, flatten enough to be easily broken after frozen.
When I tested this, it broke easily in 1/4 x 1/4 inch pieces, when dropped into the tank frozen, the fish went after it immediately, what wasn't eaten by mid tank fish, was still in one piece when it made it to the bottom of the tank. All my fish ate it enthusiastically.
I feel this is a good answer to high fish food costs. I have to cut corners and will feel much better about cutting out those blood worms and
brine shrimp....
