What's your fish's favorite occasional treat?

[maddiegrace]

Hm... Oz really REALLY REALLY (oh my word he is such an aggressive eater and constantly begging for food, but he is very well fed) likes his normal tropical flakes, however occasionally enjoys one type of pellet (absolutely hated the other kind, if I recall he spit it out), and he does enjoy pieces of freezedried bloodworms. (My other Betta was so picky spit out two different kind of pellets, spit out freeze dried bloodworms, only accepted tropical flakes, like what is it magic? Haha )

 

[maddiegrace]

Ahaha yeah my betta rejected his pellets as well. For some reason my pet store only sells one kind though, so I just kept adding them in to see I felt he'd eat them. One day I added turkey with two pellets and that's how I've got him to eat pellets again haha

Bloodworms, of course!

A few fish I've kept apparently thought my hands were a good occasional food treat. Lol.

My female betta is quite a killer- so one day she tried to eat a pest snail. The shell was too hard, so I crushed it for her. She bit into it and violently tore it apart. Glad she doesn't take a bite out of me when I have my hand in my tank doing maintenance! She prefers her snails with some shell still on it! Man, she sure does helps me keep the pest snail population down in my tanks!

Mine all like live blackworms best. Or frozen bloodworms.

Ahaha at least she's helping out with the population

A treat i give occasionally is fresh salmon before i cook it i give them some very small pieces they love it.

 

[maddiegrace]

Ooh very yummy and very healthy!

 

[RSBettas]

My fish LOVE it when I give them live mosquito larvae! Not even joking, even the shyest of fish go into attack mode when the see little wigglers. The best part about mosquito larvae, is that they are completely FREE! My Bettas will kill for a wiggling meal! (Some I harvested the other day!)

i didn't know you can feed fish turkey I'd like to try that how would one do that, does it have to be cooked first?

I just cut up very small pieces before I make a sandwich then give the turkey to him. I made sure to do a ton of research before feeding him turkey. It was the only thing he would eat during his picky eater phase

My Discus are spoilt silly, I feed them Back Strap Venison on a regular basis.
