#Snail food full#
Smaller molds cool faster, larger molds take the full 25 minutes. Let sit on the counter for 25 minutes or until cool.Stir well with a spatula and then spatula or spoon it into your chosen molds. Use a pot holder to remove and set on a heat safe surface. My batches range anywhere between 16 and 32 oz depending on what has been added to the mixture. Blend well one last time and then check how much liquid you have.*you may want add only a teaspoon per 8 oz of liquid mixture if you have other sources of calcium like cuttlebone or wonder shells in your aquarium to reduce the risk of overdosing the snails on calcium. Add up to 1 table spoon of calcium carbonate powder per 8oz of mixture.These enhance color, offer an iodine source and other trace minerals. Optional: add a teaspoon of spirulina and/or kelp powder.This can be fish food flakes, frozen fish food, freeze dried copepods, krill, shrimp, bloodworms, daphnia or tubifix worms etc. Add a protein source 2-4 table spoons.Some good vegetables are: sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, peas, green beans or butternut squash. Choose a 10 oz package of frozen snail-safe vegetables.I start with 2 table spoons in 4-6 oz of water and then add more agar at the end of necessary. 1 table spoon of agar powder per 8oz of snello mixture.There is plenty of room for experimentation and different ingredients to give your snails more dietary variety if desired.īlend ingredients after each ingredient is added until smooth before adding the next one. The below gives you a general idea how I make snello. Line the bottom with parchment paper to easily lift out the snail jello and then cut into whatever size pieces you like. a square tupperware type container can also work.
These work best for aquariums with a large number of juvenile and adult snails as they reduce food competition due to greater surface area.
It is a home-made gel food that often yields superior results to store bought food due to the added calcium and higher quality ingredients.
