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!
Like and subscribe for more great videos! Leave a comment and I'll be sure to answer.
The outtakes at the end were a whole mood. I feel like I’ve almost thrown my forceps out of frustration.
HAHAHAHAHA just sharing my feelings with the fans
You could add some egg shells to the blended mix and make some calcium rich food
AND SHRIMP! 😀👍
LOL I had one person say they hated that, glad you liked it!
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.
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.
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...
I like the freezing process, ensures it's broken down more.
And shrimp
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!
I've done that as well but waiting a couple days gets on my nerves :P
I think not only shrimp and snails will eat this but also small fish.
Possibly, yes. Otos would probably love it.
Thank for sharing! This topic is not explored enough. 🙌
thanks so much! i have an updated one from a few months back as well!
😂👍🏻 and shrimp
Thanks so much for watching!
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.
I have a few different versions on the channel but they have all been big hits with my shrimps!
From now on, its called cookie paper for me 😂😂atleast in denmark we call it baking paper.
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 :)
@@BobMossNanoTanks hehe sweet bro
I want to try this now..good tip for diy food
I actually have 5 iterations of this as well if you want to see the progression.
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
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.
🙏😎
Hope it helps!
Make balls w the semi dry product, and try a bamboo skewer...
Not a bad idea.
Why dont you just dehydrate it outside immediately after harvesting then finely crumble the dried product. No dehydrator or oven required!
well one problem right now, it's -15C outside hahahaha.
Nice video Paul Scheer
lol do you really think i look like him?
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.
Some MIGHT be toxic, do a little google search before doing anything but you should probably be fine.
Can i use water lettuce to make shrimp food
100%! All floaters work as a base, they do vary in nutritional value but water lettuce is one of the better ones for sure.
@@BobMossNanoTanks thanks alot brother 😊
@@aliyawarzaidi3876 anytime!
Do you have to freeze the plants first?
You don't have to but it helps break down the cell walls
How do you store the excess after it’s been baked?
A Ziploc bag
right, but in the fridge or just in a cool dry location?@@BobMossNanoTanks
@@usmc187 o lol I just leave em with my other shrimp foods in a shoebox lol
I like your style "a shoebox" 🤙@@BobMossNanoTanks
@@usmc187 I'm a simple man lol
Why freeze it ? If you were to defrost it…….?
It helps break down the cell walls. Shrimp don't want to eat live plants so this ensures they're good and dead lol.
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?
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.
@@BobMossNanoTanks Oh that makes sense! Thanks so much :-)
