Low fat aquatic gel diet. It's not exactly translucent but its a light yellow color while the powder is brown.
Thanks for the reply, do you cover the pan up when you put it in the refrigerator after it cools down?
I haven't used that formulation (there sure are a lot!). I use 5B0B. Why did you choose the low fat diet?
They do have a picture of the finished product on their website. I assume you're following the directions reasonably accurately?
I prepare in a mixing bowl, mix with a blender, and then pour into silicone molds. I let them cool on the counter for about an hour and then move it to the fridge. After it's set I put them in containers so it doesn't dry out.

Looking at the pic on their website, it looks like it should definitely be an opaque brown. Only way I can think of it ending up how you describe is maybe you forgot the mix? 
Waaaay too much water?
Waaaay too much water?
Shoot I used too much water...I think I know what to do now to make it look like the finished product they showed, thanks for that info. I chose low fat diet because my bichir is a little overweight probably due to beefheart and it's the only food that didn't have any filler ingredients, it is pure menhaden fish meal/salmon meal, and then the gelatin and vitamins/supplements. Thanks again.

You are right...I used too much water. I think I know what to do now, thanks for your input.
