1/2 a cup of mashed up raw patatoes

1/4 a cup of thawed warmed slightly peas

verrrrrrry small peice of orange, no seeds, no rind

1/2 pinch of wardles goldfish flakes

a tiny slice of mashed up carrot

a palm full of bread crumbs for texture and stick togetherness (only word i could think of)

(water added sparangly of course)

mixed all up and frozen. cuting enough off for a week.

Is that an ok recipie for the kids? you know, as a special dinner on the weekends? is there anything i should take off or add? (i have to make it with things around the house. no blood worms or shrimpies. Pooooor fish...) is it ok? all suggestions will be appreciated.

It sounds good to me, only the bread crumbs should be either left out or soaked in water before adding.

ok! thanks! i just said bread crumbs cause it needs to like stick together. but i think i can work around that. thanks sooo much! this site is sooo very helpfull!

Esareh if you look at the top of this forum you can find Gel food receipes that are formulated to give a good balence in the diet. I don't know about the bread, I would leave it out.

I think you might do better to follow the gel receipe, it is proven not to mess with water. I would be afraid yours may break apart and yuck up the water.

ya. i was just worried about all the stuff in it. my mom is thuper queasy, and she just doesent understand this stuff. i will give it a try though

is there anything i can use to make it stay together? im thinking about clear gelitan but it will be a few days, lol. im gonna feed em vegies and fruits untill i get the gel

well, i made some and the smart little things they are wouldnt eat it. i dont balme them, it looked like VOMIT! so i put an orange in there. mabye i will find SOMETHING thoes spoiled kids of mine will eat

Remember they need the flakes and pellets too. I bet they are loving that orange.

loving it is an understatement! they reduced it to white orange memberaine in a matter of 30 mins.

Hi,
It is neat that you are experimenting. But one thing to remember is that goldfish are mainly protein eaters. So potatoes are not really a good idea--too much carbs.

Fruit is fine as an occasional treat. But they do need protein.

whats a good source of protein? tuna fish? ive heard people takling about it. we could have a tuna lunch together thanks for the tip. they didnt eat it anyway heh.
