I use lots of live/natural foods. Brine shrimp, white worms, earth worms, guppies, platies, sea weed, zuchinni, etc.

How do you make your gel food?

 

[kardon]

I use tropical flakes (Aqueon) twice daily, Veggie flakes (Omega) once every other day instead of tropical, freeze-dried bloodworms usually once a week, and every once in a while frozen bloodworms. Well, thawed of course .

I would give mine zucchini, but I have plenty of soft green algae.

Omnomnom!

EDIT: I forgot the shrimp pellets!

Well, thawed of course .

What do you mean by that. I was told to just drop a chunk of frozen blood worms into the tank and let them eat them.

How do you make your gel food?

I use salmon, zuchinni, brocolli and carrots run through a blender, Mix 2 packets of knox gelatin and 1 1/2 cups hot water, mix well add to blender and mix. Pour onto cookie sheet, let gel in freezer about 30 minutes, cut into squares and put into ziplock baggies and freeze.

If I am feeding carnivores I use more protein by adding shrimp and or sardines to the mix.

Really? I've always thawed mine in a seperate cup... I guess either way it ends up in the same place!
