You take unflavored gelatin, mash in a bunch of commercial fish
flakes 'til it's pretty thick, mush in a couple of sardines for

degrades in most dry foods). Freeze until needed. You can shave
off little slices directly into the tank.
You should also look up Gordon's formula. It isn't used any more but
it's of historical interest.
I think this would be a great addition to the FAQ.
