Prepare the Ingredients:

Blanch the vegetables by boiling them for 2-3 minutes, then immediately cool them in ice water. This softens the vegetables and makes them easier for the fish to digest.

Thaw the frozen bloodworms or brine shrimp and finely chop the shrimp or fish fillets.

Mix the Ingredients:

In a large bowl, combine the protein sources (bloodworms, shrimp/fish), blanched vegetables (spinach, peas, zucchini), and mashed sweet potato or pumpkin.

Stir in the spirulina powder and optional multivitamin powder to enhance the nutritional value.

Bind with Gelatin:

Dissolve the unflavored gelatin in warm water according to the packet instructions.

Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the mixture, stirring constantly until everything is evenly combined.

Form and Freeze:

Spread the mixture evenly into a shallow baking dish or silicone mold (for easier portioning).

Place the dish in the refrigerator for a few hours until the mixture sets and becomes firm.

Store and Serve:

Once set, cut the mixture into small portions (about the size of a pea or small cube).

Store the portions in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer.

Feeding Instructions:

Feed your severum fish one or two cubes at a time, depending on their size. Allow the cubes to thaw slightly before placing them in the aquarium.

Serve this homemade food 2-3 times a week, alternating with high-quality commercial pellets or flakes.
