I'm going to try making some gel food tonight from one of the recipes I found in this forum. Are there any brands or types of canned tuna to stay away from? I don't eat any seafood so I don't know if there are types that have additives or anything that can be harmful to goldies.
Thanks!

How'd it go? Can't help ya on the tuna, I don't care for it either.
I've been pondering making some, but can't quite get the ambition
to make some.

It went pretty good, and it was pretty easy to make. I used peas, carrots, brocolli, spinach, blood worms, tubifex worms, tuna, and orange juice. It's not the best smelling stuff, although it smells less once the gelatin sets. It took a little while for the fish to warm up to it, but they seem to really enjoy it now. I'm not sure if I fed them too soon (the gelatin might not have completely set) but it seems to make a lot of mess. I'm hoping next time I feed them it'll be harder and not break apart as easily.

The worms were of the freeze-dried variety. I wanted to make sure there's a lot of protein in it for my oranda.

Sounds yummy.

Someday I'll get the nerve.
