I decided to have another bash at making snaily jellies. I didn't add enough gelatine to my first attempt but all went well this time round....plus I didn't add rice that "rained" all over my kitchen while blending like last time. 
;D
Here's what I added:
courgette
green beans
sweetcorn
cauliflower
broccoli
liqufry
liquid calcium
fish flakes
dried tubifex worms
gelatine
I gently simmered the veggies and then blended them together...added the other ingredients (except the gelatine) and stirred well. I then added the gelatine and allowed it to set then cut it into squares.
My apple snails, cana and spixis went nuts over it....my corys loved the hidden tubifex worms and my bn plec was munching on it too. The treats stayed solid with minimal dissolving and were gone within the hour! ;D
The treats even handled being picked at by three shrimp without messing up the tank.
Next time I plan to add some kale, parsley, daphia, bloodworms and brine shrimp.
