Shrimp Paste

[cichlidkeeper]

just made a shrimp paste that my fish love. put shrimp and brine shrimp into some kind of electrice chopper, add a little water, and chop to wanted consistency. carnivorous fish love it!

How do you feed it to them? Does it float or do you smear it on something?

[cichlidkeeper]

when all of it is defrosted or fresh you scoop it with your fingers. if it is frozen you break it off the block like you would a flat pack of brine shrimp.

[jabbott]

Oh, OK. I missed that you were freezing it. Interesting.

[budwick weiser]

so you blended a bunch of full sized shrimp? did you get the precooked stuff or use the raw?

[cichlidkeeper]

i used some cocktail shrimp that have been in the freezer for a while. cooked shrimp.

just noticed something. maybe i should have put this in the food section. oh well it is still diy... kinda.
