What human food do you feed your fish?! :)

Hey everyone!

Just thought I would throw a thread out to see what you guys feed you fish other than fishy foods!

I feed mine:
Cucumber
Cabbage
Banana
Peas
Grapes
Prawns
Egg
Orange
And carrot

Just wondered what you guys feed yours? Or stuff you have tried!

 

Peas, zucchini, cucumber

 

You can feed fruit? I have to try that!

 

only ever added some veggies for my snails, shrimp, and BN pleco. Mainly cucumber, lettuce never worked well, carrots with mixed success. I have mixed feelings on fruit, but would be willing to try something small, non-acidic, and not loaded with sugar. I know people use a small amount of egg for fry food sometimes. Also, if you can get your fish to eat them, peas aid in digestion.

 

Cucumber and lettuce.

I accidently dropped banana in my tank once and the goldfish ate it before I realised what was in her mouth! Now she gets so excited! Swimming and jumping in the water when she sees it!

So I tried a few other fruits and veg and she gets more excited than if you put any store bought food in the tank!

 

Peas, cucumber, zucchini, garlic, red capsicum. My Angels are pretty fussy and turn their noses up at most of it, so if any of you know what stuff they like, would love to see what you feed them.

 

I feed my herbivores basically anything that my 12 year old daughter wouldn't eat without a largish bribe, so they get most of the fruit and veg listed above.-rick

 

HI lala29,
I fixed the thread title and moved your post to the fish food section. As for my fishies, They used to get blanched veggies all the time, I now feed them vegetable pellets that have seaweed, spirulina, carrots, squash, spinach that I get from Kenfish.com, they go crazy over them. I still give them fresh fruit snacks sometimes though

Thankyou riv I didn't realise until after I wrote gits instead of guys

I may invest in the vegetable pellets, they sound nice for the fish

 

Do you pre cook and cool the peas?




Or could you give them frozen?

 

Do you pre cook and cool the peas?

I put them in a mug with water and put them in a microwave for 1 minute I then pour the water off and place them to cool for a few minutes

 

Thanks
