Has anyone tried making a paste like food like masstick for themselves? I have recently started playing around with the idea just because I already have so much dry food and only wanted to use this to get my dottyback used to coming up top for food so I can remove him from the tank. My plan is to use food grade 99.9% vegetable glycerin as a binding agent and then a wide array of pellets and nori mixed with garlic and amino acids.
 
I have heard of many doing it. You can use agar or gelatin to thicken it. I use American HPD. It has something like that in it and gels up.
