Unfortunately you're probably going to catch flak on tank size.. Glo fish are a touchy subject as it is.. Stick em in a tiny tank... Oooo boy, I wouldn't add much deco's so they have max swim room...

i didn't think glofish ate lettuce? mine will nibble the piece I put in for snails but just out of curiosity. not to eat.
edit: my zebra danios- not glofish but similar

Same fish just not genetically altered to glow.

Well what other options are there other than flakes??

bloodworms, micro pellets, brine shrimp(?)

Beef heart !!! Power growing food but requires lots of WC's.

+1 and freeze dried black worms.

You can microwave a few frozen peas, when they cool, take the skin off and feed them the mushy part.

Feeding lettuce vs fresh callaloo (aka amaranth)

Hello, I currently have:

1 white cloud mountain minnow (rescue)
3 flame tetras (rescue)
7 glowlight tetras

If I recall correctly when I was reading, all these breeds of fish are omnivores and will generally eat fish food, snacking on algae wafers, and vegetables you may put into the tank (but generally leave live plants alone). If they may eat lettuce (I haven't tried yet), do you think they will eat Callaloo?

I have some fresh callaloo as it's called in Jamiaca, or Amaranth as it usually goes by, growing in my garden. We planted it last spring from seed. I never use any pesticides, and organic soil and organic compost materials occasionally (such as wood, eggs shells, coffee, ash) without chemical fertilizers.

I should probably try lettuce first, so I guess this is more of a theoretical question
