Making my own Shrimp Food

[@1blackend1]

Awesome! Going to give this a try! A quick tip to return the favour, if you fold your plastic over the paste and use a roller you will get a even layer with less mess than the card/spatula method

[@ShrimpMania]

That's a great idea!

[@JohnDoe-ib3hr]

Love how much care you put into their food, I use dried mealworms and algae powdered in Nutri-bullet then made into paste balls. My shrimp feed my fish who feed my lizards. They're fascinating creatures.

[@nvalley]

At least in the US, organic certified greens can still have pesticides applied that are dangerous for shrimp (like copper). So be sure they're labelled as "fully washed" or give them a good wash before drying.

[@ShrimpMania]

Great info, thanks for the tip!

[@br0ken86]

It's hilarious when the shrimp run off with the food 🤣 great video thanks for the recipe!

[@ShrimpMania]

Yea greedy shrimps always want steal a piece to run away😂 Thanks for watching!

[@joshiewhite]

My amano is an expert in parkour and will backflip to the food and be gone with a pellet before you can blink.

I started DIY food few years back, learned a lot from mark and soo. With time it got me to specific formulations based on objective feeding like growth, vitality, digestive aid, molting aid. Using only ingredients like spirulina, Chlorela, blood worms ... I have a list of those... without any additives, i was able to analyze it and get exact proportions of elements. However i preferred to keep it powder form for several reasons, mainly to be able to micro dose, and to be able to use it as supplements when necessary on top of regular shrimp food, and many other reasons...

[@ShrimpMania]

Sounds great, thanks for the info👍

[@ShrimpMania]

Sounds great, thanks for the info👍

[@FaceMuseum]

Hello, Would you be willing to share your recipe? I would prefer to feed my shrimp with a tried and true scientific organic formula like yours. Thank you so much.

[@jonisolis9645]

I also add some ground flax seeds as a binder.

[@AllBlast]

I make my own nettle mix containing powdered algae wafers chlorella spirolina bug bites powdered duckweed dried oak leaves cherry leaves and a few other combinations too my neo's absolutely love it 😀

[@ShrimpMania]

Very nice recipe lot of goodies. Thanks for sharing!

[@Lazarusthefishboy]

Awesome DIY Shrimp food method there man! Loved it! 👌

[@ShrimpMania]

Glad you liked it!! Thanks for watching!

[@RWAquariumPages]

Wow, at times I thought this was a Gormet cooking show. I've tried a few of my friends home made food and my shrimp love it. I don't have any diy skills to make my own. Great video

[@ShrimpMania]

You right it was like cooking show😂 Thanks for watching Ray

[@h57cg10f9cj]

That sounds great, I would like to give a try, thanks for sharing.

[@limkahking4870]

Hi, can I know how you store the paste since you made a lot of it 4:49

[@charlesperez9976]

This is awesome! I am not a shrimp expert,but when I saw a channel called SHRIMP MANIA,I HAD to subscribe!

[@ShrimpMania]

Thank you😉👍

[@Nick-c8j5j]

What could I add to my homemade shrimp feed to make it into a paste as it's very runny at the moment.

[@jonisolis9645]

You can also buy organic powder greens online. I get alfalfa, spirulina, and kelp. There is also barley green powder and mix greens.

[@BushLieWorldDie]

Whats the mineral powder. You give the mineral powder each time you feed them . I Was thinking the food itself should have some minerals. Many use spinach dont it contain oxalic acid? I Heard many used corn husk but seems soy beans fills out that part.

[@jonisolis9645]

You can also dry it in the refrigerator. Works great. I make my own DIY fish food which I give to all my fish and shrimps too.

[@blueboltshrimp]

oh it was amusing to see that one shrimp try to drag the food away I'll try your recipe sometime!

[@ShrimpMania]

Please do!

[@oniesma]

You are very great breeder...👍👍👍

[@ShrimpMania]

Thank you, so nice of you!

[@alantooth48]

[@ShrimpMania]

[@leahnjr]

[@DetectiveLopez.]

[@ShrimpMania]

Can you add timestamp?

[@brianwhitcraft2344]

[@ShrimpMania]

Good to hear I inspire you, Brian. Thanks for watching mate!

So helpful! Thanks for sharing 👍😉

[@ShrimpMania]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching🙂

[@Jlui83]

Cant you just use the powder form to feed them?

[@doperwtje1257]

I made food with boiled chickenliver, stinging nettle, spirulina, gelatine to bind it all together and put it in the fridge. The shrimps went crazy for it.

[@ShrimpMania]

sounds good!

[@almp9182]

Hi, my shrimp almost never eat the added food (they eat the food in the tank), is this normal? Thanks for the video and the advice.

[@ShrimpMania]

Yes if you don't have many shrimps in the tank they have enough natural food around and they might don't eat the food you give to them

[@dkaamraaj]

XCEEELENT😊😍

[@jazzzzzon]

Another great video! Some nice looking shrimp too, there was a nice black one with a greenish stripe down its back, is that a pinto / blue bolt cross?

[@jazzzzzon]

@8.08

[@ShrimpMania]

Yes that shrimp is looking cool! It came from mixed tank so that's why I like to mix my shrimp it full of surprises. I think it's just good grade pinto shrimp

[@hectorcabrera8392]

Spirulina is a natural source of several minerals including copper, copper can be toxic for shrimp? Isn't?

[@BeeUndercover]

Pesto for shrimp! No wonder they love it 🙂

[@gbeeshrimp]

Thank you for the amazing information

[@ShrimpMania]

You are welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@mohamadchebli1653]

Ammazing thanks

[@susieweakly6304]

Awesome

[@veneshpillay3635]

There is a big grey area with organic. If you grow yourself then you know exactly what you have

[@20djphil]

Nice

[@nilskoch5098]

mironekuton ? How do u use it ? Does it change PH of Water or change waterparameters ? And which shrimp tanks do u add it to ? Do u add mironekuton straight into tank or only in shrimp food ? Keep up the good Word 👍🏻 greetings from Denmark

[@ShrimpMania]

You can add it directly into the tank, small amount once a week. You can also add it into the food like I did in this video

[@nilskoch5098]

Do u see any change in pH after u add mironekuton ?

[@ShrimpMania]

I haven't noticed any changes in pH if be honest after I add mironekuton powder

[@nilskoch5098]

Cool, is there more different Minerals in mironekuton than salty shrimp gh+ ? Im abit confused about Minerals, gh, and effect on PH 😅

[@ShrimpMania]

@@nilskoch5098 mironekuton is just supplement minerals for shrimps and bacteria in the tank. Salty shrimp Gh+ are Ca and Mg salts to remineralise ro water prior water change to create ideal general hardness of the water to mimic the water for shrimps in nature

[@chickengoatfish]

❤

[@livingwaters.4U]

Another great content mate, how do i get in touch ? i live in west London

[@ShrimpMania]

Thank you mate, here of facebook

[@ArchangelHornet]

organic doesnt mean no pesticide, but rather no fertilizer or hormone injections..

[@blooky102]

I'm just gonna blend my duckweed into shrimp food instead of throwing it away

[@rockyluc]

just wash them with water, stop wasting money with "organic"
