I don't know if feeding them would be okay or not, but it seems to me that raw potatoes would really cloud the water even if you rinsed them extensively.

The high starch content might be a concern to your overall water quality.

I agree, my friends tryed that once didnt work out good at all, clouded the water, and as far as I know messed up his readings.


IMO I wouldn't try it!

I think I feed possibly more vegs than most on FP but I would steer well clear of raw potato. They would be too starchy to start of with. Cooked and mashed??? also I think it could cloud up the water.
