EASY DIY Snello! Making Snail Jello With 4 Simple Ingredients! Easy Snail, Fish and Shrimp Food!

[@lifeinamobilehome1766]

Thanks for this recipe! My Mystery Snails gobbled it up! Time to make more.

[@J.A.Arellano]

Oh my gosh, that's so awesome. My tanks go nuts for this stuff, haha.

[@Seanmmvi]

fantastic, waht a great idea!

[@WhackyWilliams]

Thanks for receipe, will try with my fish :)

[@mothermoon3873]

It worked great and so easy . They already started to nibble on it 👏thanks

[@J.A.Arellano]

This is so great! Do you only have snails? My fish go crazy for this too, I wasn't expecting that!

[@snazzleberri]

Great recipe, thanks for sharing. Also, dem loaches is chonky :3 so cute.

[@J.A.Arellano]

Thanks so much!!!

[@johnwilkerson9804]

Hey you have golden dojo loaches too! I love them so much

[@Chick-In-Of-TheSea]

Love it! I never shy from a good Snello recipe. I made one with veggies I boiled & pureed, then I added knox, calcium carbonate, and bloodworms. Another one I made similarly, but with Repashy Soilent Green instead of the boiled veggies. For the recipe you shared here, I'd opt for something that does not contain spinach, since spinach, when consumed, prevents calcium absorption. If you google that phrase "spinach prevents calcium absorption" you'll find some info on that. Love the simplicity of using the plastic bag. Some people make their snello completely in the plastic bag, freeze it, then break off pieces. But let's face it. The hearts are cuter! I recently got silicone ice cube molds that make LITTLE 1 cm. ice cubes, and I'm going to make some Snello in those. I have found that the candy molds I have on hand are too big. The snails can consume it, but it is too big a quantity for the shrimp tank and I have to either thaw it then cut it, or put the whole chunk in and then turkey baster it out in a little while after they lose interest.

Thanks for sharing this! Love the music in your video!

[@J.A.Arellano]

Thank you so much! I hope your tank enjoys the recipe. :)

[@Auroralotus22]

Those are so cool !!!!

[@J.A.Arellano]

Thank you so much!!

[@desireechoate7583]

Ooou cool thanks so simple! I like how you mentioned to add in the gelatin slowly. I had to learn the hard way😅 Also thanks for telling me how long they can last in the freezer. Question: How often should I feed mystery snails this? I know they can eat good but sometimes I worry about overfeeding.

[@J.A.Arellano]

Thanks so much! Well I’d say, it depends on how many snails you have. At one point, I had over 30 mystery snails and I did several cubes about twice a week. If you have way less, maybe 1-2 cubes also twice a week. In between I did supply with pellets/ flakes. You can also gauge by seeing how much food is leftover once you feed! That should give you a ballpark as to how much! :)

[@margaretl.4935]

Very nice video. I was inspired and bought the products you recommended. I bought mini heart molds as well as mini fish molds! So cute! I’ve been worried about what to feed my Margarita snails after they nicely cleaned the algae off the tank glass in just a couple of days.

[@J.A.Arellano]

Wow, you’re so kind! Thank you! Your snails are going to love the snello. I’d love to hear how it turns out.

[@mothermoon3873]

Perfect thanks 💕🐌

[@J.A.Arellano]

💞 My pleasure. I hope your tank enjoys!

[@johnwilkerson9804]

Omg and a black ghost knife fish! Is that my tank or yours 😂

[@m72e592863]

Nice.

[@J.A.Arellano]

Thank you so much!

[@mothermoon3873]

Thank you ❤️💕

[@J.A.Arellano]

The video on mystery snails will be posted tomorrow at 8:30 AM PST! :)

[@emikaneeran4490]

Instead of using unflavored gelatin, could I use agar agar?

[@J.A.Arellano]

Hi, yes you can!

[@awong508]

Hi, do you know if "Calcium Carbonate" can be used as Calcium Powder? Or are they the same thing?

[@ShadeTheArcade]

Yes it's the same

[@mothermoon3873]

Yes just mystery snails and one pleco . Do you have any videos on mystery snails ?

[@J.A.Arellano]

I unfortunately do not yet. What specifically are you interested in seeing?

[@bellesidor2884]

Awesome video! I tried making snello but it keeps floating…. How do you get yours to sink right away?

[@J.A.Arellano]

Hmm.. mine doesn’t float.. You did the same recipe? You can also get a wooden skewer and stake it into the substrate! That’s what I do when I feed raw fish to my tanks.

[@Chris-zg5hw]

Thanks for this! =)

[@J.A.Arellano]

My pleasure!

[@gordonhayes3155]

What size are the baby food jars?

[@J.A.Arellano]

They are 4 ounce jars.

[@ovhnfinity]

I attempted to make snail food with a similar recipe, but it wouldn't sink to the bottom. It just floated on the top and I couldn't figure out what I did wrong. You suggestions?

[@tamiweir8041]

Is this recipe for aquarium snails or land snails? Or both?

[@spidey_things]

Could you also make snello like how you would jello? With two parts hot water and one part cold? I have calcium blocks that I'm going to grind up, as well as algae pellets and snail pellets, also some blanched veggies. So I was wondering if I were to do the regular jello method, if I could just grind up the food and mix the powdered food inside the snello mixture? Edit: forgot to add this but I found a mystery snail egg cluster in my tank, so I have mommy fever and want to make snello an easy way. This way is super easy, so I'm going to look into getting food molds, I was just wondering if my mind is in the right spot for the method I offered?

[@joesmith9103]

Thanks for the easy recipe, where is the best place to get calcium powder from?

[@J.A.Arellano]

My pleasure! I ordered the calcium online from Amazon. The brand is Pure Organic Ingredients.

[@joesmith9103]

Thanks for the reply, I ran all over today to no avail! I did however find a zoo med reptile calcium with vitamin D3 which I was hesitant about so I made the recipe without the calcium. Here's to hoping they sink instead of float! 🤣 Thanks again!

[@J.A.Arellano]

@@joesmith9103 Oh gosh, lol. Let me know how it goes please!

[@joesmith9103]

Welp it sunk so that's good, however my target audience (assassin snails} didn't really touch it; even tho I put it in late at night so that they had a sporting chance. Instead it was devoured by my Panda Cory's in my small tank and my school of rummynose tetras in my larger tank. I think ill need to make another batch with some stinky protein to intrest the assassins

[@J.A.Arellano]

I just did a quick google search for assassin food, what about adding some frozen bloodworms or frozen mussels? I saw they sell frozen mussels in cubes at pet stores as well. It might be worth giving that a try. Or maybe even some ground up tilapia. I don’t have assassin snails, just mystery, ramshorn, and trumpets. I put some sliced up tilapia on a skewer for everyone else to eat but they climb up the skewer to devour it too. Might be worth a shot? You’d just have to be careful with adding too much tilapia and then an ammonia spike if left untouched.

[@LoxeStyles]

Where did you get your filters from!?!!!!

[@J.A.Arellano]

I got the HOB filters on Amazon! They’re the Penn Plax Cascade 300. I also have a Penn Plax canister filter in my 110 and a sponge filter in my 65.

[@DG-de1qy]

I just made this. I used 3 jars of the same baby food. 3 Tbl calcium, 2 Tablespoons of Repashy Soilent Green, and my mystery snails are not interested. Can someone help ?

[@Shepardluver]

How often do you feed this? I am new to the hobby and haven't done more than flakes, brine shrimp and blood worms. But I have mystery snails now and looking for foods for them to enjoy

[@J.A.Arellano]

I give them this at least once a week! You can also give them pellets!

[@Shepardluver]

@@J.A.Arellano awesome, thank you

[@J.A.Arellano]

My pleasure!

[@Socalshortybulls]

Is it okay to feed it everyday?

[@J.A.Arellano]

I have, with no issues. Give just enough so that it is fully consumed within a few minutes and you should be good! Too much can cause ammonia spike/ cloudy water.

[@mothermoon3873]

Anything about mystery snails 🐌❤️

[@J.A.Arellano]

Alrighty, I'll work on putting a video together and get back to you!

[@Ultraviolet996]

Why is the face blurred

[@captainsalmonslayer]

cause people are horrible and the information in the video doesn't need a non pixelated face.

[@tamiweir8041]

Can i add ground egg shells for my calcium?

[@ivancho5854]

Absolutely. 👍

[@tamiweir8041]

Can I used sweet potato or yams cooked.

[@ivancho5854]

@@tamiweir8041 I'm not sure, but I would definitely try them. I don't think that you are running a high risk, but to start give them a bit on its own and see what happens before you mix up a batch. Good luck. 👍

[@missidollwood2138]

Is there anyway you could give the recipe in easy to read? Love your loaches. I have a bunch of baby snails and I made some snello and it never setup. It smelled awful and my snails wouldn’t eat it. The fishes liked it, but not the adult snails.

[@cdavid0624]

Am I in Japan

[@dlp5924]

Don't be afraid to show your face... You're beautiful!

[@J.A.Arellano]

You are too kind. ❤️

[@jackiepennington2195]

I made snello , my snails don’t eat it much. They would never eat all of it. They nibbled on it and that’s all

[@shannonlee8864]

I have to ask why do you block out your face??

[@Bookwormqueen96]

Wondering the same thing, video tutorials can be made without showing your face if privacy is the worry
