Feed mine Oranges in the Summer Time and Cucumber in the Fall, in my Pond... They look like Piranha going after the slices. Both my Koi and Gold Fish love them.. Doesnt take long for only the orange peel to be left. Pretty fun to watch...

Yes, it will make the water more acidic, since there is a lot of citric acid in oranges . A nice treat, but it really can't be fed too much or the pH and such will drop too low.


They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes,
They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver,
So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

Just depends on how big of tank. Remove, whatever is left after a few hours. However, in my pond I throw in several slices a week, and it doesnt do anything to the water. I just remove the peels afterwards.
