Re: ~ Peas ~

i think your oto will like peas.. the trick will be for him to find the pea pieces before Oscar.

Re: ~ Peas ~

I feed the bettas the itty-bitty little pieces of peas off my fingertip and then I get a couple of peas and leave the halves in one piece and drop them in the tank and the other fish will eat them off the bottom (otos, cories, loaches, plecos) and have them gone by morning. They have also been noshing on cucumber and zucchini that are in their veggie clips. But, yes, they do like peas but like them left in halves not chopped up so they can nibble on them themselves.

Rose

Any veggies you put in for the otos need to have the rind or skin and all the seeds off. Sometimes it takes a couple of days for them to attack zucchini or cucumber but they will eat them.

Re: ~ Peas ~

ok, just don't tell Oscar that it's for the otos or he'll want it.
