Hi - WELCOME to the Forum. The simplest way to go is with spirulina flakes. If you have a large quantity of fish - the tabs are a better way to go. - Guppyman

Hiya zodiac692 and welcome to Aquariumadvice

You can also try some real veggies: cucumbers, zucchini, peas (not often tho; peas have a laxative effect). If you try cukes or zucchini, be sure to blanch it in boiling water, or nuke it for 15-30 seconds (and cool it well before adding it). If you try peas, use frozen or fresh, and take the shell off first. If the fish don't eat it (they may not at first as they likely won't initially recognise em as food), make sure you remove it within 12 hours so it doesn't rot in the tank.
