Preparing beef heart

[D&M]

Staring my venture into preparing my own foods, got myself a big beef heart,
and a pack of knox geletin. So now I star at it wondering what to do.

I'm thinking I cut the heart into slices, trim the fat/veins, etc. Toss into
a blender, mulch it up a bit, add a bit of water and geletin, and put into
ice cube trays.

How's that sound? Pretty close to what the store stuff is? (Probably better
from what I heard...fish food suppliers using "dead" meat, rather than
slaughtered meat.)

There are LOTs of recipe's out there for a beefheart mix, most suggest
adding spirulina in some form, usually found at a health food store or
spinach as well as a powdered vitamin tablet or two. Some recommend
other veggies like peas. Some recipes state that it needs to be
reduced to a fine paste in the blender, others claim that small chunks
is small enough.

Depends on the size of the fish and how much extra protien and vitamin
content you wish to add.

is a good recipe that I have used to help get fish up to breeding
condition. However, with ANY beefheart mixture, you have to be sure
that it is either ALL eaten, or that you remove ALL uneaten food
within hours... the sooner the better so that it doesn't destroy your
water quality.

I don't want to sound like a fool, but ill ask anyways. What is this gelatin
they are talking about?

Jello without the sugar, coloring or flavor... holds everything together.
