Ok as I have alot of fish I thought it would be cool to make Gel food. well my fist batch was a disaster. I made the one with tuna ,fish food ,vitamins and peas and such from the gel food on the front page . It stunk and turned out real runny It didnt set at all so I froze it when I cut it up in a little chunk put it in my tank it blew up....in to dust.
Well I have made another attempted at it today . As I REALLY WANT gel food . Ya now how it goes when you want some thing bad enough . well I put one bag of mixed veggies in the blender then I put one can of tuna then I added the tomato past and one bannana And put some water in to mix it up. It started to mix well then I started to smell something very funny like burning wires maybe. Well as you can guess yes. My Blender burnt up .At this time I am thinking I am not suppose to make Gel food but I was determined so I ran across the street with big bowl of yuk in hand to moms house . She finninshed Blending it for me and I came back home . I added 7 packs of Geliton to 1 cup hot water . made sure it was mixed well, Then added it to my Food . I checked it a few minutes ago and YES I think its gonna work this time . Wow I didnt think that making Gourmet food would be that trying . But I do think I will have enough food for a year theres alot......

I always use extra gelling agent in my gel foods too (I use agar instead of gelatin) or else they come out overly runny and sort of disintegrate in the tank and make a mess. <_<
