Thank you. I eat diet free jello every day. I was thinking about making my mbuna’s clear gelatin cubes with veggies in it. I have seen you on varies TH-cam’s regarding your African Cichlids. And this video uses Repashy, so I will purchase this today. A side note, continue wearing shirts like that. You are a beast!
Hi Zenzo, Thank you for all your time and energy put into the making of a fantastic channel. Well done... I was just getting set to make my own prepared cichlid food.Before I start, I have a couple of ideas that I thought I would throw your way first.What are your thoughts about pre blanching the zucchini? What about summer squash?Cucumbers? now you can get the seedless ones? De-shelling the peas? Broccoli and should I blanch it first? Last question. I noticed at Bed, Bath, & Beyond they have little silicon mini ice cube trays. If I pour the mixture into the trays (assuming I blendthe sheets of seaweed in the mix with the veggies). Would you feed the cubes frozen or thawed out? lastly, I was also thinking of putting in a couple cloves of garlic?The rest of the ingredients are the Rapashy, cichlid veggie pellets, and one protein.I guess that is a lot of questions... Woops...I want to do it right the first time and all this runs around in my head... HELP ME, PLEASE!Just kidding, I was even thinking about weighing everything so it is consistent each time I make it. What are your thoughts please... Thank you sir. -Steve
This is a great idea thank you. I have the morning wood repashy i got for my plecos, would that stuff work ok? I'd love to prepare a meal for my fish. Some of my cichlids are such pigs it will be nice to feed them something different.
I feed peas to all my fish..Goldfish, mbuna, guppies (I mash them a bit)..endlers and my mixed tropical tank. I use frozen peas. I just leave them in a cup of hot water for a few minutes, I always shell mine (just a squeeze and the insides pop out) as I have read in several places that some fish have difficulty digesting the shell....I would love to use repashy to make a big mix...If only repashy was not so expensive in Australia..and we dont get the full range.
Cool spin on the floating foods appreciate the time and effort will be trying this out for my mbunas. I too have a mix of cichlids all between 1.5 to 2.5 inch in my 60g grower bout to move will upgrade to larger tank. Thanks for the video
Hi Zenzo, I just stumbled upon this video. I haven’t seen it before. I thought it was an outstanding tip for enhancing the Rapashy and also making your own fish food. I would love to see a diy food for carnivorous haps. Thanks very much for sharing 👍.
Zenzo...Soilent Green ??? What a weird name for a fish food! That futuristic movie, circa 1973 is very disturbing. Hope that fish food isn't made of the same stuff lol
Might save you some money if you use agar powder or solid agar and blend it into a powder. Boil it with water the same way you did. Dehydrate your veggies and blend into powder. Mix with agar, let it set, cut it up into small chunks and freeze

Currently researching feeding strategy’s for mbuna cichlids for college. I found this really interesting and a great video :))
Any significant or notable findings?

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! Going to try this!
Definitely love this idea and never thought it. No more wasted floating food in the filter.
For haps and peacocks Tazawa which you recommend use from Repashy?

You get that yoked from lifting fish tanks?! 😂 best channel thank you

Shells from the beach. Get ones that are broken and straight. They make perfect daggers down into a substrate to hold the vegetables.
Awesome video , if u complete it and it gets jelly , how long it last and do u need to put it in the fridge ?
Yes, it needs to be refrigerated or frozen. It lasts a few days in the fridge.
@@TazawaTanks cheers for the quike response. Time to get me some aswell
Do you keep them in the freezer or fridge?
I got my mbunas 2 years ago..pet store gave me Omega with them and that's what I've fed them ever since... Never knew they would be on veggie only
Thanks I think I’ll start using that recipe. Honestly I never thought about adding stuff to the rapashy jell

Thanks for this info, I was just looking up for best foods for mbuna cichlids.
That's a great idea. Thank you for posting
I do the exact same thing but I steam then puree the zucchini and peas in a food processor then mix it with the Rapashy.
Zenzo...Soilent Green ??? What a weird name for a fish food! That futuristic movie, circa 1973 is very disturbing. Hope that fish food isn't made of the same stuff lol
LOL!
What a great idea can you freeze this?
What species of mbuna do you have?
I've got 4 juvenile Mbunas and I'm not seeing them eat that much. I've bought Cichlid flakes and pellets but is that even the right diet for them?
Thanks for Sharing 👍🏼
Excellent video!!!! Do u think this would be a good food for my colony of Mpimbwes?
Manuel Bolt Possibly, if you add some protein like a cichlid pellets.
Hello Zenzo, How often would you feed this?
As often as you have the time, patience, and budget for. Lol!
For me, every once in awhile.
Do you need to keep it in the fridge?
Yes
Great idea! Thank you for step by step 💕👍
CJ Black Glad you enjoyed it CJ!
CJ Black what the fuck are you wearing dude
how old are those mbuna and how are they so peaceful when they eat?? my auratus chases all the fish away when i feed the tank
cucumber.
What exactly were your measurements for the repashy/water?
Might save you some money if you use agar powder or solid agar and blend it into a powder. Boil it with water the same way you did. Dehydrate your veggies and blend into powder. Mix with agar, let it set, cut it up into small chunks and freeze
Thanks Again!!
Did Magic Mike get a tan? Good info. Thanks!!
Just ordered some. Can't wait to try it out!
Did you cook the peas first or just throw them in frozen thawed ?
Melissa Berry I lightly blanched them in hot water.
I use a little piece of light defuser to keep my food held down I attach it to the food then stick it into the substrate
Good work bro .Gonna be 1000sub in no time
+cichlid guru Right on! I hope so!
Great video!
Thank you Lance!
Love the shirt , I'm in Detroit, GO LIONS
Jack Bargert Haha! Thanks Jack. My uncle is the team physician for the Lions, so I have a bunch of gear!
Very useful, thanks!
This man is jacked
How much can you feed them one week or month
Thanks looks good
Great idea!
April W Thanks April.
CAn you use this food for Deamonsi Mbuna ?
Yes
thanks man great idea
Bro make a lasagna for the fish.
I wanna shirt like that.
Is it a Washington thing?
You remove the seeds from the zucchini ?
No, I leave the seeds in.
Trt Tazawa
Can you give Mbuna sweet potatoe ?
why not just blend all the veggies/fruits with a bit of bottled water and then add them to the repashy mix?
That would work too.
wouldnt be a bad idea.
Dig it!
Sam Woods Thanks Sam.
Nice 1
Bro are you wearing a tea towel?
?
It works!
will african cichlids eat canned or frozen soft carrot chunks or corn
kind of thinking peas are the easiest
