My advice is; use up all the dough guys!!! No matter how tedious it is!!! :) I made a big ball of dough from all kinds of mashed omnivorous and carnivorous fish flakes and spirulina powder, and a little tank water. I rolled it to a thin string, cut it up and let the cuttings air-dry over night. Great stuff! They jump on it like crazy! Yet I got so much from half of it already, so I stored the leftover dough in a airtight bag. Which I shouldn't have done since it moulded away...... Nyèèèhh!!!!

Right now I'm feeding snails, shrimp and isopods, it's funny, they all kind of eat the same stuff.

Very nice! Some suggestions: You can split a larger zip lock bag and sandwich the dough between the plastic sheets before rolling it out to make it easier on you (this is a common technique when making corn tortillas, which lack any gluten to bind them, from scratch at home - check out a video for more info on this) If you are in Europe you should be able to access nettle tea easily enough. The nutritional content is significantly higher than spinach. If you have an excess of duckweed or azolla, you can scoop that out and dehydrate it to use in place of the spinach - either is very high in nutrients and you're creating more of a closed loop ecosystem by doing this. Also it's completely free to do.

I don't know if this would work for shrimp but decades ago I would raise and sell hundreds of cichlids each year. I needed a fish food that I could feed to the smallest fry and up to the largest fish I owned (an eight pound black pacu). I'd pull out my old blender, cut up a small carrot and toss it into the blender with a couple of tablespoons of water and liquefy it. Then I'd add a small can of spinach, four oz of beef liver, three or four medium sized shelled shrimp and finally a dozen eggs. Then I'd run the blender until I got what looked like a green milkshake. Next I'd put a large non stick skillet on the range and on low heat I'd jell the green liquid into what looked like green scrambled eggs. Stirring and being careful to not get it too hot until it had jelled up pretty firmly. Next it got spread out on a baking tray on parchment paper spreading it as thin as I could. Then it went into the freezer for only long enough to set it firmly. At that point I'd take it out and cut it into squares, put into a zip lock bag and freeze completely. I'd break off a piece and holding it in between two fingers press it and it would dissolve and break apart. You could leave it as large chunks for bigger fish down to what looked like dust for smaller fish. I never found any type of fish or other tank inhabitant that didn't eat it readily. The pacu never ate anything else over the years. Fish are very high in protein and prefer a diet high in protein but even fish that lived on plants readily ate it and I imagine so would freshwater shrimp. I may give it a try in the future. I'm in the process of setting up a planted tank for shrimp at the moment.
