fish love it!! everyone tore it up..but needs more gelatin it falls apart faster than i would like.
the cons and silversides mostly are for my sculpin she is over 7 inches and used to love eating fish..now she just wants pellets!! i have 3 betts , some shirmp and snails, one gold fish
but i also keep 4 types of rainbows, some gudgeon, tons of killifish, an obscure type of large danio, and other types of danio, an African River cichlid, shell dwellers...er im sure there are some im missing..but i have allot of tanks...and lots of types of fish!...and most of the cons are fed as wigglers to everyone even the bettas.
you should!!! and here it is ^^
this is borrowed from another member on this site or AC cant remember any more, and I modified it a bit
snail jello:
1.5 packets knox gelatin (plain unflavoured) (most recipes call for one packet, but i found that wasn't quite enough)
about 10-12 tums, crushed up into a fine powder (this is your calcium source for good shell growth)..I started using liquid calcium pills....but you can use any source of calcium you like.
one small jar of baby food (i used butternut squash)
ground up pellets or flake food (optional)
frozen and thawed (or blanched) strawberries, spinach, zucchini, canned unsalted green beans, leftover butternut squash (optional but the snails love to find bits of fresh stuff in the food^_^ ) all mashed to a pulp
microwave the baby food in a bowl for about 1 minute
stir in knox gelatin, making sure to break up any lumps until it's all mixed thoroughly
stir in powdered tums
stir in optional fish food
stir in optional veggies
spoon into ice cube trays, filling each cube about half to 2/3's. put into fridge or freezer to set.
pop out of ice cube trays and put into ziploc. put ziploc into freezer. snail jello will keep a long time this way.
when you go to feed the snail jello, just drop one of the frozen cubes into your tank.
I tried to stay away from prepared foods when making this! and this was just a test run, next time there will be more ingredients.
