Recipes Koi Fish Food

1. First Recipes Koi Fish Food

1/4 lb. shrimp, cooked and peeled
1/2 cup peas ( cooked or frozen and squeezed out of their skins)
1/2 cup slightly cooked carrots
1/2 cup cooked chopped spinach
1 egg
1 clove garlic (said to be good for health - and I don't have to smell their breath very
often)
dash of orange juice for consistency
1 multi vitamin/mineral pill
1 envelope Knox gelatin dissolved in about 1/8 cup hot water
Pulse everything above in food processor to a coarse paste. Stir in about 1 cup
wheat germ Spread to about 1/4" thickness on waxed paper (I put a second sheet
over the top and rolled it evenly). Refrigerate until firm and cut into 1/4" cubes.
I froze 1/2 for use later and to keep it relatively fresh.
Options: If I wasn't worried about white-white skin, I'd have added some red bell
pepper because it is so high in vitamins. I see that many custom professional food
contains fish meal (so I'd use any fish or parts of fish I'd buy at the supermarket).
