I am a newbie to the fish world, but I was just reading all I could find on this last night. Out of the several articles I read, all had carrots, peas, romaine lettuce, and spinach. The majority also said to go easy on the spinach, as too much of it can cause a digestive issue for cichlids.

Hope this helps.

I put all that and cucumber and one little slice of fish and blend it up then make little balls out of it then freeze. Or you can just cut/chop them into bite size pieces. Normally when you freeze then let it thaw out its softer.

Zucchini and squash also work well. Blanch it or throw it in the microwave for 5-10 sec to soften it up, then chop into small pieces. My wife's grandparents think I love squash, don't have the heart to tell 'em I freeze most of it for my African cichlids every fall after they give us a bushel full.

My plecos, leporinus and, believe it or not, my oscars scarf it up as well.

Sorry for not getting back earlier, I posted this as I was leaving for work. I use a very fine grater & get as small a sliver as I can. I still have small fish, about 2", so bigger might be fine for larger fish.
