It looks like a sushI restaurant at your house

You have some very spoiled fish! No wonder they look so good!

 

LOL Thanks BB.

Today was water change day for everyone and treat day too.

I make sure everyone is fed well without over feeding. I declare they know it's treat day when I show them the bag of Krill or Freeze Dried Earthworms, compared to their staple pellets. I always get soaked on treat days!

Get your wetsuit on.

 

When I first glanced at the first pic I wondered 'Why the heck is there chex trail mix sitting there with the fish food?'

LOOOVE your counter tops!

 

LOL Navy I will heed to your advice!

Thanks Mike!

HI Ken,

Just wondering if I can feed my tetras, barbs, corys and torpedo with zucchinI or lettuce as well? Or does it only work for big fishes?

Any special tips in the preparation? Or can I just cut the vegge into small pieces and throw them into the tank? Can I use capsicum in place of zucchini?

Cheers,

Andre

 

Good morning Prototype,

You can try feeding your fish a variety of veggies. Make sure they are sliced small enough to fit into the fishes mouth. Just try a few pieces of veggie at a time and see how they react.

Some veggies you may need to blanch or boil just a minute or two to soften them up a bit. Make sure they have cooled before feeding them to your fish.

As for cucumber, zucchini, Romaine lettuce, all I do is rinse them, weight them down and drop them in the tank.
I slice the cucumber and zucchinI round about 1.5" thick.

I have never tried Capsicum (assuming the meaning is Bell Pepper). hmmmm not sure I would try any type of pepper though. Burp! They give me indigestion!

Ken

 

Good thinking! Haha! Although where I come from Bell Peppers are considered non-spicy

 

I was thinking something more like ham and eggs.........ops:

Hey! Where's the Bacon?

 

And lots of coffee !!!

 

Lol Ken your fish must absolutely love you. And yeah where's the bacon?

 

what?! no fish for breakfast? oops...
I feel bad for feeding my fish such a large variety of flakes and pellets now
I'm sure your fish believe they are in heaven on such days.

 

Gasp! GemstonePony! lol

I'm sure your fish appreciate the variety of dry foods, flakes and pellets. Try giving them some meaty foods, on occasion (Krill, Earthworms and so on. I use freeze dried, pre-soaked)

Let me wake Chef to fix y'all some breakfast!

Ok, Chef is up and fixing you folks steak and eggs.

 

My fish want to come live at your house!

 

HI Ken,

What do you normally use as weight for the veg? I do not want to put anything that will affect the fish in there.

 

Hello Prototype,

I use plant anchors and keep a supply of them on hand.


Some folks use veggie clips:


As for cucumber/zucchinI slices, I've seen mention that some folks just use a fork.

Ken

 

I doubt Posiedon can eat that that much food, so I hope he doesn't envy your fish-fast...... ( he probably does though)

Who knew there were 4 course fish breakfasts????

 

Thanks Ken

 

That breakfast looks good! >< Mt fish will like that.

Next week I'm making "Fish Cookies", Made with sardines, bloodworms or frozen brineshrimp (presoaked) and roaches that were trapped and drowned. lol I hope it will turn out successful.

 

Hello Knostargirl

Let us know how the Fish Cookies turn out. I bet the fish enjoy them! Too, if you want to create a thread in the fish food section with your recipe, that would be great too!

Ken
