00:05 I make different fish food for my aquatic pets
   • Earthworm in Aquarium  
It is a part of my aquarium fish care which I am constantly improving and simplifying    • Aquarium How to  
00:25 I prefer to use what grows in my aquariums to make fish food.
It includes all the plants, mosses, algae, snails, shrimps and etc.
All my plants:    • How to Grow Tree Land Moss Underwater  
Snails:    • Water Snail Eggs Central Park NY  
Algae:    • Simple Algae Control  
Shrimp:    • Algae Control  
00:36 In this example, I harvest spare Frogbits    • Frogbit in Aquarium  
Now let's take some of the Elodea    • Anchor Aquarium Plants with a Shell  
I cut old parts, leaving the new to grow.
Fast growing Frogbit, Elodea, algae and pond snails are good, reliable suppliers ;)
Share spare plants with your friends    • Giveaway Fish   or save them for making fish food flakes.
Here, I trim some land moss growing underwater    • How to Grow Tree Land Moss Underwater

01:05 Snails are always in excess in my aquariums.
Add some of them to the food batch.
Store all ingredients in a freezer until you get enough of them.
01:28 Get a shoe or pizza box.
Line the bottom of the box with aluminium foil.
Get the collected ingredients from the freezer.
01:50 Put defrosted ingredients into a blender.
You may add any green leaves and vegetable peels from your kitchen.
Here I add frozen peels of watermelon and potatoes :)
Add dechlorinated water as necessary.
Blend it all thoroughly.
I prefer to make small batches of different flavors for my fish to try.
02:24 Pour the mixture on the foil in the box.
Spread it evenly.
Rest the box on a windowsill.
Cover the box to prevent direct sunlight, leaving holes for air circulation.
Check on the mixture every day.
You should be able to crunch the dry mixture into a powder between your fingers.
In this example, it took 3 days for the mixture to dry in a room with temperature of about 72-76 F.
It could be done in one hot day on the beach while you’re sunbathing ;)
Or you can do it in an oven as shown in my previous video (link in the description).
03:10 The end result is the same...your pets’ favorite fish food flakes :)
Congratulations!
We made fish food flakes!
Keep them dry in a box and away from light.
03:25 I feed my guppies once a day.
Give them a pinch of flakes.
It should take 2-3 minutes to eat.
Feed less or skip the next feeding if it takes longer to eat.
Try different ingredients to see what your fish like better.
I used to add starch in fish food flakes.
It works fine either way.
Have fun and happy aquariums :)
