I have had a lot of success supplementing with yeast and spirulina. It feeds the biofilm which feeds the shrimp.
Good to know!
Do you mix the two ingredients and turn them into a hard food or do you just sprinkle the yeast in the spirulina on the water?
Hello, which type of yeast do you use? Thx
@@alantooth48 Use a mixing cup with aquarium water to mix.
@@papapig2876 Regular brewers yeast works great.
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!!!!
I had some leftover fish food i wasn't gonna use so I went down to local river and popped it in there and watched all the baby fish eat it. I'm such a child lol.
Yum! spinach noodles. A little alfredo sauce, and you have lunch!
Ruby Peaches that’s what I thought lol. Spinach fettuccini
Amazing video! I was super impressed to see you’re still answering questions 4 years later!
Question: using the storage method outlined, how long can we expect this food to last before “going off”?
I wouldnt use it after 6 months mate.
@@MarksShrimpTanks vacuum sealed might last longer? Thanks for the replies...
Awesome video Mark. Love your channel. That’s why I’m proud to be a Patreon. 👍
Thank you very much Dean thats really appreciated.
An eye opening idea. Thanks a lot Mark. I love it. Request for more shrimp feeding videos.
Fab video Mark, full of detail and info. I have tried and failed before making my own food. I was missing the magic of adding an egg and using my de-hydrator. This has inspired me to try again to make some. :)
Fantastic do it yourself shrimp food video. Nicely done Mark. Thank you.
Thank you Carbon.
Looks great ill probably make this soon I'm trying the duckweed recepie you posted awhile ago
Hi Mark, Huge respect for your love towards shrimp keeping and the hobbyists.
Thank you very much my friend that is appreciated!
Looks amazing. I can't wait to try it!
Thanks for this video, it's my favorite homemade shrimp food video right now.
Been waiting for it ! Thanks Mark
Mark Mate your Amazing your videos are the Gold in the Rocks!
Awesome video! Definitely going to try this!
My new tank cycling ends next week... plan to get Red Rili will plan to make this food ready before bringing the shrimp.
I recently made a similar recipe called something like aquatic snail cookies, some of the same ingredients, but more and the mixture was more gloopy. You bake it, cut it up and store it in the freezer. This consistency seems better. When I have more ingredients I'm going to try again, using this method, basically make pastry with ingredients your pets like. Right now I'm feeding snails, shrimp and isopods, it's funny, they all kind of eat the same stuff.
Thanks for another useful video. I am learning so much from you and other TH-camrs!
Amazing Tutorial... I'm still a little low on shrimp after my mishap, but noticed 1 female is buried so I'll be patiently awaiting the babies :D
Can't wait to make this food in future.
Awesome video! Super simple quality food 👍 Can't wait to try it out!
Thank you
hi Mark great video ,im new to the hobby but im already loving it,thanks for or the great information
always worth a try, good video!
Just found your channel : I have tried chickpeas flour, spinach, wallnut leaves, spirulina + 1 egg to make a consistent dough. now 100° C in the oven. Even the spinach leaves boiled for little moment, and even the guppies ate it. together with the neocaridina's. Thanks for ya TIP !!
Wonderful!
I know this is old, but I just want to add the fact that spirulina contains copper.
Hello, I discovered the channel very recently and have already subscribed to it because you present some very nice things to do yourself for our shrimps. Since I don't have a dehydrator I guess you can use an oven to dry this food out?
Anyway thank you for these first two videos that I just watched, I will see the others in the next few days
Great. Thank you👍
Cool video bro, helped us a lot. Cheers from Mexico :)
Cool! I´ll make a lot now... Last year I made some with just water and powders, and even though my fish and shrimp love it - it´s quite messy. Thx!
You and your shrimp will love it :)
Perfectly worked though it wasn't perfectly made 😂😂
My shrimp loved it n so do i :)
Yes I liked your video very much I'll try it myself
Super like. Food for the shrimps looks super good. Greetz from Holland.
Thank you
Fantastic video as always! Cheers Mark :)
Thank for watching Troy :)
Great work thanks for sharing.
We made our own fish/shrimp food with equal parts of dried Moringa leaves from our garden and organic oats then a bit of dried Dandelion root. Blended all to fine powder then used similar steps here.
Think we will use pizza wheel to cut it next time....
Perfect Perfect !
Could you sandwich the ball in baking-paper / wax-paper before you start to roll it, so you dont need get green powder everywhere. Thats how i do when i make beef jerky from ground beef.
yeah that is a good idea
Made it. My L448 clownplecos love it.
Thank you👍🏻
Dear Mark, thank you sooo much . I use your method with a liitle bit change . I add : montmorillonite clay powder, Spirulina powder, egg , spinach powder , flour , brain shrimp powder , bacter AE , honey pollen to it. I hope my shrimps love it :))
Wow. Gonna save some money on this one! Thanks!
You are very welcome :)
Thanks Mark!
Wow amazing! Thanks for sharing this simple recipe. Can't wait to try it someday.
how did it work?
Great video Mark
Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
This may have been covered before but what is the optimal temp if you're using an oven for homemade food? Also, the ballpark time drying in the oven? Went digging through old YT videos and found this... currently making the "dough". Thanks friends 🦐😁
Flour... check, egg... check, powdered spinach... check ... seems very similar to spinach egg noodles... great vid Mark! Will definitely try this.
oh cool is thats how they are made ? hahahaha I will have to find out now :)
@@MarksShrimpTanksHi Mark, I followed your steps and I made this shrimp food but added also powdered banana and powdered carrot. The shrimp loved this! Using the food dehydrator instead of an oven really allowed me to make this food fast. Interestingly when the food comes out it is dark green but once you place it in the tank (glass dish), it becomes bright green and slowly dissolves and the shrimp love it. I will add powdered leaves, and spirulina in my next batch. Thanks again. Great video!
You need a pasta machine!😊
Love the vidz Mark You are a Master shrimp man Legand made this food yesterday shrimps love it
Thank you Andrew :)
Thanks for the useful video! I Have a question; what's the expiration date?
You can also substitute spinach powder with spirulina. The shrimp love it! Although that would make it less tasty for humans
Thanks for sharing Mark 👍
You are very welcome Jerry :)
thanks mark...u the da best
Mark thks for the instructional video. Did I hear correctly you mentioned 45 hours?
Great video mark!
Thank you Philthy !!
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.
Cool thank you
Wow. Good one mark.
Cheers:)
Hi Mark, can it be bake or into a frying pan without oil for the final process?
very nice Mark. love it greatngs from holland.
Hello Theo :)
Great video!
Thank you Sir :)
Thank u soo much 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Awesome and informative...also you have a relaxing narrator voice, which is meditational at times 😅😊
Do you have a video on how to make the spinach powder?
I need to grow organic spinach again, excited to try this.
Thanks so much for the idea
No but its very tedious, I literally used 3 x 25liter buckets of spinach to make not even 1 liter of spinach powder.
@@MarksShrimpTanks ooo, that's really hard. Thanls
thanks for video , how to make spinach powder ? is it pussible in air fryer ? and can I mix to this food bacter AE ? and what kind of flour do you use it ? plain flour for bread or baking is okay ?
I used a dehydrator and then powdered it and yes to the other two questions 😀
Hi Mark!! thank you for all the incredible shrimp advice you offer to the community. I have 1 question, I am having trouble increasing the KH and GH in my blue dream tank without sending the TDS through the roof. I don't have access to RO water and I'm using pretty soft tap water...(4 kh/GH) any tips on keeping the parameters right without raising the TDS to crazy levels?
Yes, absolutely.. try get yourself some crushed coral, in a 50 liter tank you only need a small cup ful to raise your parameters a little
Is that 50°F or °C? Never used a dehydrator before. Watched this and instantly looked them up on Amazon Haha just want to make sure I get one that's compatible
Im not sure if I missed it- did you post the ratios? Could you add a small amount of citric acid powder to add some acidity to their diet and help prevent bacterial infections?
Great video!!! New sub!!!
Would you mind sharing how much it weigh for the feed after dehydrated?
The shrimp chef mark returns hehe, looks good, would there be a way to do this without the dehydrator?
Oh yeah you can do it with the same temps using an oven
deffinately planning on trying this but with spirulina added to the mix. I was also wondering if powdering freeze dried blood worms and maybe some powdered citrus leaves would be a good idea?
I think so :)
Great video, Mark! But with only one 20gal tank, that would be a LIFETIME supply! I'll just order another sample pack of food from you when I run out. ;0)
Oh to be clear this is not how I make my own food hahahahaha
Do you think aquarium plant trimmings could work as well? I was thinking about how I could dispose of my trimmings and I thought maybe it was worth a shot too.
To be honest I dont know my friend, you would think you could do it with some plants and not with others, which of each I wouldnt know.
What is the expiry of this amazing product
Hi, Mark! I was wondering if I use nettle leaf powder and peppermint powder instead, what ratio would you recommend? I can't wait to try this out and I hope my shrimps loves it as much as yours do!
to be honest I am not sure mints are safe for shrimp, thats why I have never used it in my videos
@@MarksShrimpTanks Thanks for answering! I noticed that Shrimp King food from Dennerle use peppermint both in food sticks and also as snack in their "5 leaf mix" :) I only have the sample pack from them 'cause I'm not able to find it where I live and importing food is extremely expensive, so I think it's best for me to make my own from now on :)
For an additional treat, could you mix in honey powder with this recipe?
Very professional ❤
Thank you! 😃
Ever use black solder fly large podwer?
Thank you so much for this idea 👍☺💙🐟💙
You are very welcome Наталья Сипрова :)
Thank you for the great video has helped me loads ! Just a quick question - what type of flour would you say is best to use? And the ratios of each ingredients please? Thank you x
You can use a lot of different types of flours like rice flours or chickpea flour dont use barley flour though because it swells up and make the food float, ratios on this were just one egg, 50g of flour and 50g of spinach, I actually made all the spinach myself too,to get 1kg of spinach we had to collect 3 x 25 liter buckets of fresh spinach :D
@@MarksShrimpTanks thank you so much for getting back to me I'm so excited to give it ago! 😍 x
You are very welcome EI :)
Would this be a good food option for a black worm culture?
great idea. ever consider using a pasta maker to make uniform noodles of shrimp food? just a suggestion. Loving your videos. Keep them coming.
I have, its funny you should mention this because an hour ago I bought a food pellet machine hahahaha
@@MarksShrimpTanks i look forward to seeing the video on that
Hi Mark! What do you think about adding haematococcus or chitosan powder? Thanks for a nice video!
I don't know about the first one but I do add chitin to my own foods if this helps any.
awesome video mark , what about the ratio between flour and the spinach powder?Also can i use mulberry and beach leaves instead of spinach
I just used the same amounts for everything and yes you can use the other things you mentioned :)
Hi Mark, just came across your channel and loving the video's, just out of interest what are the measurements for the flour and algae? I also just received the food pack from your store and the shrimp are loving it, I'm over in the U.K (London) so a cockney and spent some time up in Scotland and it's just beautiful, anyway take care and keep safe..best wishes:)
to be honest I cant remember, I think it was just equal parts of everything. I will redo this video soon to include other things.
@@MarksShrimpTanks Hi Mark, thanks for replying dude! so good of you to take the time out and reply and I look forward to that video as I'm away watching your latest one's:)
Great video!
Tou got a new SUB my friend!!
Can tou tell me olease what is the green powder?
I didnt get it
I think that was spinach powder, merry christmas :)
@@MarksShrimpTanks Thank you very much!
Happy Xmass
That looks really good. I want to eat it myself lol. You could sell this an a healthy potato chip alternative lol.
I love when I dehydrate zucchini slices they are like the best smelling chip you could imagine.
Zucchini chips sound really good.
Hellow would it make a difference If it boiled and blended the spinach instead of making it into a powder ?
hi Mark, I intend to have a small shrimp tank combined with daphnia and maybe some snails. would the spinach powder make green water necessary for daphnia? or some green algae from a spring cliff would do? or maybe use spirulina instead of spinach?
yes I think that would all work as a food source for daphnia, I goldfish farmer once told me how he made his green water, he peed in the tank lol.. it worked he had tons of daphnia for goldfish food.
I loved it, thank you, my question is: is that spinach was boiled, dried and turned to powder or not
That was bought spinach powder so I dont know what the process was my friend.
@@MarksShrimpTanks thanks for the reply sir
Is there any measurements on how much spinach powder and flour is needed?
Wow
what's that plant with the broad leaves behind the shrimp? it started growing in my tank and i never bought it
Could you teach us to make shrimp lollies? Preferably ones that you can actually store for a little bit.
Nice
which flour would be better (All purpose flour or wheat flour)??Please let me know
Love you
super Idea , thats great :-)
Glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. Can Opae Ula shrimp also eat this food or is it only for fresh water shrimp? I thought I should ask since they are brackish water shrimp. I’m new to keeping shrimp. 😊
Yes they can eat this as well. 👍
HIYA! What other kinds of flour can you use? Odd question, but do any gluten free flours such as almond work? I prefer to avoid giving my fish filler grains if possible. If not it's fine because your fish look great but if I can give this food to my algae eaters as a treat as well, they'd be over the moon!
Im thinking about making this with dckweed powder instead of spinach
You mentioned fresh spinach. What changes are needed to use fresh spinach? Thank you.
i have started shrimp farming can i feed it to my shrimps. Will they grow bigger with this feed.
