Homemade Pleco food idea?

[KennyDolly]

I am interested in making some gelatin food for my 3 BNs...
I plan to include a couple raw shrimp (I've heard raw is better?) broccoli, spinach, sweet potato, brussel sprouts, and green beans. Does this sound like a good list of ingredients? Anything you would add/take away? I also feed zucchini daily, bell pepper every now and then along with carrot. They get a couple shrimp pellets every week for some protein... Thanks!

Hi all,

Yes, sounds ideal you could add or substitute green peas. Raw "shell on" shrimp is best if you can get it, and just whizz the whole lot up in the blender.

yes, do you plan to use agar to set it? i use agar powder and spirinula powder , mix in hot water, and then spread gooey mix on stones to set, then fish graze on it. algae grazers love it.
