All I do is put food in a juicer and freeze it in plastic bags.

Here is what I put in mine when I made it. I did mix it up in the blender though...

shrimp
squash
peas
flake food
garlic
plain gelatin mixed with water

I blended it all together and then froze it flat.

was the shrimp,squash,peas and garlic cooked,blanched,raw or otherwise processed? How much of each ingredient was added? What are you feeding this mixture to?

I may use it,and others may be interested if a little more details were provided.Thanks,just curious

Do you have a food processor? that would work

If not you can make it, just use a knife, then a morter and pestal or whatever that is called.

The shrimp was cooked, only because that was what I had in my freezer. Everything else was raw. I think it was a 2 lb bag of shrimp, a couple of yellow squash, about 1/2 a bag of frozen peas, 3-4 tbl of minced garlic out of the jar, probably 1/4-1/2 cup of flake food, and then 1 packet of plain gelatin mixed with a little water.

I have fed it to my tank that has platys, neons, and a Chinese algae eater. There was a dwarf gourami in there until I lost him a few weeks ago. I need to pull some out of the freezer and see if the angels like it.

I think I made a thread a while back when I made the food. Let me see if I can find it.

Here it is: Making my own food...
