Seaweed-
Cut into smaller pieces


Then I just decided to use a blender...


Garlic-just in case you forgot what it was


Paprika


And the secret ingredient lol-



I will add pics once I make the actual food, should be tomorrow.

P.S If you do want my "secret" formula I will give to you but I'm not to be held responsible for anything.
brettturpin here I I'm going to put how it goes.

 

Sounds like a Taco Bell commercial!

 

Mixed the peas with the seaweed in a blender the outcomes doesn't smell good lol.

 

So how did the main course come out! DID they eat it?

This food when I was making made me want to puke...

 

HA!

What are you making the solution in to. Pellets...balls of goo.....??? Are you drying them first?

I wonder if those dehydrators would make them into pellets that they could pick at without it all flying all over the tank?

Freezing them in ziplock bags and breaking pieces of it.

 

There ya go!! Give us an update on how it is going over with the Mbunas after a few days!

Dumb question,,,why did you come up with Cayenne pepper? Was that as a flavor enhancer?

With the pepper and the peas..these fish will be pooping like a race horse!

The only thing I don't like is that this food kind of clouds the water.

Yes..but is it frozen yet? maybe when it's frozen...it will solidify and make it less apt to disintegrate into the water. Even after you defrost it!
