Hi all,
I have been feeding the normal cucumber, broccoli, and tried an orange slice, but wanted to know what else people have been feeding their fish. I'm hoping maybe we can get a large list of different fresh fruits and vegetables that are safe for most/all fish (and the ways they are prepared for serving), and just as important a list of fruits and vegetables that are harmful/fatal to fish. Also any specialty foods that help in certain circumstances such as peas for constipation, garlic for increased immune system, etc.
For instance as I already mentioned raw cucumber, partially cooked broccoli, a slice of orange, partially cooked pea (skinned and dropped into tank) are great suppliments to most/all fish. As with all foods they should be rinsed in tap water prior to adding to the tank to make sure no pesticides or chemicals are present, and if your really cautious you could rinse in tank water before adding to the tank (but I think this is a bit overkill IMO).
So let me hear your ideas!
Things I'd love to know in particular: are raw peeled bananas, partially/fully cooked potatos, cooked carrots, partially cooked skinned kidney beans all healthy and appetizing for the fish?
