Hey Andrew, do you know if vegetables containing copper are harmful to Mystery snails? Kale, spinach, turnip greens all contain copper. Just put a turnip green in the tank last night. Thought I would try it because it is soft and also provides calcium.

Did this make the water cloudy or gross at all?
@theanimaladdiction4 жыл бұрын
I use a coffee grinder to grind cuttlebone for the calcium powder and store it in a jar. For the food I use flake food as the online recipe tells me to. 2 jars green beans baby food. 1 bag jello. And thats it. Basically the same process just easier. And cheaper.

Will nerite snails eat it? Will it hurt the betta in the tank? And if my nerites will eat it can I use pleco wafers in it? I don’t have hikari I typically give my nerite pleco wafers which is still an algae water

I can not find pureed baby food that doesn't have poultry in it. Would that be safe to use for this kind of food? Thanks!

I'm just curious about that shrimp pellets because I know most of them contains traces to few copper contents which is shrimps can tolerate since they are small dozes but snails are susceptible to any amount of copper. I tried feeding them with shrimp tablet that doesn't have an accurate label of ingredients and just a few days my snails almost perished that I had to salvage any remaining ones that are still crawling.

I will try making a small batch for my nerites .... using agar agar , squash, chickpeas , spinach , plecos food, spirulina ...and nori algae . Adding turtle calcium instead of tums. I hope they eat it.

Can't you use ground egg shells for calcium?

Soak the algae tabs in a small amount of your aquarium water until they soften then mix with baby food

Be sure you test each food with your snails, before making snail jello. Refined sugar isn't good for snails. You can buy pounds of food grade calcium carbonate off ebay fairly cheap. For LAND snails, Goldfish Flakes seem to be favored over other fish/turtle/algae foods or shrimp. Also, a lot of stuff gets mushy in water, which i would think makes mixing easier than when it's dry.

A mortar works a lot better than that tool. But you could use a pill crusher too

Good video but I had a few questions for you if you don't mind answering them. The baby food. I know it’s Gerber and comes in a square box but could I get a product description? What is the size in oz? How many shrimp pellet (approx) 10? What is causing the bubbles to form? Boiling the mix? How long do you cook the food mix before and after adding the jello? What temp? Does it matter what flavor on the equate tablet I use? Can I mix the flavors? Thanks! :)
@coralocean14426 жыл бұрын
You don't have to use Gerber, just any baby food high in calcium (spinach, green beans etc).Just one container is fine, where I shop baby food is in pouches I use 1 pouch. You can also grind up cuttlebone (the one for birds) it's very cheap. The other thing I do is microwave the baby food for 30 seconds until it's hot then add the dry stuff. It's not an exact recipe I just eyeball it. If you don't want to do that I would say I use a tablespoon of calcium (cuttlebone) 1/2 tablespoon of crushed fish food (Bug Bites) 1/2 tablespoon of New Life Spectrum. Just make sure it's all finely ground before adding to hot baby food. I then put 1 and 1/2 packets of gelatin. To keep the bubbles out don't stir too hard, fold it in and smash clumps with a spoon. Hope it helps.

Hi, Why don't you just desolve the hard stuff in a little HOT water first? I'm going to start off first with Peas and Cucumber, that's what my snails and shrimps like most.
