What is snail jello...and who eats it?

Admittedly, when I use gelatin, honey and calcium pills together, some people taste the snail jello while in early stages and say it is very tasty. I just snickered and when they ask what it is for, I said snails. Some freak out, some just say it's weird.lol No fish food is used though so it was fine until I start using it for the snails anyway.:D All my fish absolutely love the snail jello, not just the snails. I've used plaster of Paris pucks at the moment which is less hassle.
:rofl::rofl: that is hilarious lol At least your friends are gettign their calcium :D

The beautiful thing about snail jello is that since you're using plain gelatine as a binding agent, you can put pretty much whatever you want into it. You can tailor it to your critters' needs. For my snails I use garden vegetables baby food, spirulina powder, calcium powder, veggie flakes, and some honey just because they like it :) Of course, just because I tailor it for my snails doesn't mean my shrimp don't go wild over it as well!
 
I found this the best way to feed 99 % of my fish, inverts and bottom dwellers. the babies I feed small food for, but other then that I found snail jello to be so easy and clean! they eat it in record time and nothing is to waste. then I add a small alount for the bristlenose when lights are out so they can have food to.
 
My SAE's go crazy for snail jello. When I am feeding it to the snail tanks I always drop a cube in the community tank as well, and the feeding frenzy begins. A 1" cube is consumed in about 10 minutes.
 
I made a new batch of it today with chopped spinach, 1/2 yellow squash baby food and 1/2 apple baby food, then had some brocolli that'll go bad soon if I don't use it up, so I used a knife to shave off the very tips on the florets and dumped those into it. The stems will keep longer anyway and I'll freeze and steam those to feed them too. Also added some plain tums for a little calcium, shrimp pellets, and flake food. Gee, I wish I ate this good.
 
lol, my friends always make fun of me because my critters eat more veggies than I do. Hmm, kind of sad when I think about it...
 
Heck, My kids are getting jealous of all the attention my fish are getting...when they see that I am now cooking for the fish while the teens have to 'FIN" for themselves......
