Two powdered puppy biscuit One powdered dried shrimp Three pinches salt. Add together and moisten with water which, has had an egg beaten into it. If necessary, add enough more plain water to bring the mass to a stiff but workable consistency. Then spread it about a quarter inch deep on tins, such as pie-plates. In summer it can be sun-dried, but radiator drying in winter is preferable. After the surface has somewhat hardened, It may be turned over in sections with a broad knife and the drying completed. When dry, it is broken into pieces suitable for milling, grind and sift to desired sizes.
Another recipe consists of equal portions of powdered shrimp and either soy or whole wheat flour. To this mixture is added a flavoring portion of dried salmon eggs and a bit of salt. This is then mixed to a stiff paste with water containing a beaten raw egg, using about one egg to a pint of dry mixture.
Pablum, that splendid food for human babies, is enjoyed by many fishes. It may also be used as a major ingredient in any cooked or uncooked food.
Canned dog or cat foods make excellent food for medium sized and large fishes. Some prefer canned cat food.
Chicken eggs as fish food may be prepared by beating them, adding a teaspoonful of water per egg, and then pouring slowly into boiling, water which is being stirred. the resulting flakes are gathered by straining.
