I am in the early stages of trying to save myself some money and making my own shrimp food! This is version one, a simple floating plant food. Will my shrimp like it? Watch and see!

AND SHRIMP! 😀👍

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

LOL I had one person say they hated that, glad you liked it!

[@gloompetal6052]

The outtakes at the end were a whole mood. I feel like I’ve almost thrown my forceps out of frustration.

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

HAHAHAHAHA just sharing my feelings with the fans

[@Power2ThePeaceful]

You could add some egg shells to the blended mix and make some calcium rich food

[@Sue.5776]

Thanks, did not know you could use floaters other than duckweed. When I make this I add bee pollen, a bit of clay and often a calcium source.

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

I have seen some people be hesitant to use frogbit but I couldn't see a reason not to. I am working on v2 and v3 of this right now, just trying to find sources for stuff.

[@blooky102]

I think not only shrimp and snails will eat this but also small fish.

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

Possibly, yes. Otos would probably love it.

[@Oasis_Desert_Rose]

When harvesting, squeeze out the water FIRST...!, YOU CAN grind/blend immediately, or freeze to use later... And dry, any way you like... Or, use for compost...

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

I like the freezing process, ensures it's broken down more.

[@TheJgparrish]

😂👍🏻 and shrimp

[@rachelkunz611]

Lol yea it's gonna stink like u just roasted some floating plants. 🤣 Thank you for all the great info!!! Definitely trying this today. Duck weed has taken over all of my tanks.

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

I have a few different versions on the channel but they have all been big hits with my shrimps!

[@joejoe4k]

From now on, its called cookie paper for me 😂😂atleast in denmark we call it baking paper.

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

I don't know, my fiance does all the baking haha. I'm just happy she has the supplies when I want to do stuff like this :)

[@joejoe4k]

@@BobMossNanoTanks hehe sweet bro

[@AquaticMoose]

Thank for sharing! This topic is not explored enough. 🙌

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

thanks so much! i have an updated one from a few months back as well!

[@LeahhJett]

Nicely done! That’s how I dehydrated stuff before I got a real dehydrator! Shrimp food was one that I actually just started dehydrating just by leaving it out on the counter for a day or two!

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

I've done that as well but waiting a couple days gets on my nerves :P

[@brandonlasvegas]

🙏😎

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

Hope it helps!

[@Justintheinsane]

Could you do this with Elodea, or any fast growing aquarium plant? Or do Floater plants have better nutrition? I've got a ton growing and don't wanna just throw it away.

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

Some MIGHT be toxic, do a little google search before doing anything but you should probably be fine.

[@PeterTran1997]

We've got the same oven as you and it should have an actual dehydrator feature, mine works great, although I cant remember how to get there. You could probably look it up

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

Wait, really?! That's cool. Thanks for this, I will do some research! I actually just got a Ninja Air Fryer with a dehydrate function as well, gonna run some tests and see how that does.

[@aliyawarzaidi3876]

Can i use water lettuce to make shrimp food

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

100%! All floaters work as a base, they do vary in nutritional value but water lettuce is one of the better ones for sure.

[@aliyawarzaidi3876]

@@BobMossNanoTanks thanks alot brother 😊

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

@@aliyawarzaidi3876 anytime!

[@usmc187]

How do you store the excess after it’s been baked?

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

A Ziploc bag

[@usmc187]

right, but in the fridge or just in a cool dry location?@@BobMossNanoTanks

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

@@usmc187 o lol I just leave em with my other shrimp foods in a shoebox lol

[@usmc187]

I like your style "a shoebox" 🤙@@BobMossNanoTanks

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

@@usmc187 I'm a simple man lol

[@danielpuente1957]

I want to try this now..good tip for diy food

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

I actually have 5 iterations of this as well if you want to see the progression.

[@Mateiisback]

Do you have to freeze the plants first?

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

You don't have to but it helps break down the cell walls

[@Oasis_Desert_Rose]

Make balls w the semi dry product, and try a bamboo skewer...

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

Not a bad idea.

[@thathobbitlife]

Is freezing a necessary step? Cant I just take my duckweed, water spangles, frogbit etc and toss it into the blender or whatever fresh and then dehydrate it?

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

Good question. I don't think it's NECESSARY, but it helps to break down the plant and the cell walls so the shrimps will eat it faster. They don't eat living plants, after all.

[@thathobbitlife]

@@BobMossNanoTanks Oh that makes sense! Thanks so much :-)

[@adnel4142]

Why dont you just dehydrate it outside immediately after harvesting then finely crumble the dried product. No dehydrator or oven required!

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

well one problem right now, it's -15C outside hahahaha.

[@Jlui83]

Why freeze it ? If you were to defrost it…….?

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

It helps break down the cell walls. Shrimp don't want to eat live plants so this ensures they're good and dead lol.

[@BreezyBrickyard]

Nice video Paul Scheer

[@BobMossNanoTanks]

lol do you really think i look like him?
