Platy, Mollies and Guppies eatting veggies??

[kdklovesfish]

I'm supper new to owning fish and have been doing some research. I've read post suggesting cooked peas, carrots and other veggies for fish, but haven't found out if that is good for all fish. Can the above fish plus a Cory Cat and a Chinese Alge Eater have veggies??

Yep. All of the above. Especially the c.a.e. and mollies. Adult c.a.e.'s don't eat veggies quite as much as juvies but all of your livebearers will appreciate the mixed diet.

Can I used canned veggies or just fresh? If just fresh how cooked do they need to be? IE: blanched or mushy? Thanks for your advice!!!

Stay away from canned they are full of preservatives. I would think you would want them more on the mushy size then just blanched.

def fresh or frozen, no canned as mentioned. You want them fairly soft for the most part. I boil my carrots until I can stick a fork through them and my frozen peas I just wait until the water boil and they are soft enough this way.

You don't want them to be so mushy that they just fall apart but you want them soft enough to be able to be eaten.
